All y’all getting ready to NOT spend money on the 28th?

Let’s show these MFers that we can starve them out. Even people that aren’t on social media have texted me about it. I’m willing to give it a shot.

Yes. Even though it’s one day we need to scare these people.

notyournegro.bsky.social•1 day ago

Shaking the table and saving money.

brosephus.bsky.social•1 day ago

I tend to become miserly whenever a potential government shutdown nears. I have no problems with this. I'll probably be days before spending any money.

notyournegro.bsky.social•1 day ago

I’ve definitely been going days without spending. He’s only going to be able to lie some much when businesses start going under.

brosephus.bsky.social•1 day ago

I'm plotting and planning ways to cut spending even more. It helps when companies have decided that giving minorities a fair shot at employment and opportunities doesn't match their business model. I'll take my Negro dollars to where they're wanted and appreciated.

notyournegro.bsky.social•1 day ago

PERIOD. I live in an area with lots of black businesses. I’m all set. That’s where my money will be going if I must spend.

mariebelle75.bsky.social•1 day ago

That’s in addition to the money I have already decided not to spend in this fvkker’s economy. Small businesses, local grocery stores & Costco only

nic8nite.bsky.social•1 day ago

Thanks for the reminder bc one thing about me… I’m gonna forget not to spend money 😂… unless it’s only target and Walmart bc we don’t go there anymore 🙂‍↔️

gregsowa.bsky.social•1 day ago

If I check in to my gym, which is already paid for, does that count as spending?

notyournegro.bsky.social•1 day ago

No but make sure you don’t buy your water there.

gregsowa.bsky.social•1 day ago

Good tip, thanks!

nmfr.bsky.social•19 hours ago

This household will spend $0 tomorrow. We will, however, make it a point to donate to our favorite local animal shelter.

388shark.bsky.social•1 day ago

I’m so ready. I even got my doctor on board!

nightshades101.bsky.social•1 day ago

Joke’s on them! I don’t have money either way 😼
…Wait

thenwmagpie.bsky.social•1 day ago

And not just Friday. Let's try for *all* the days, if we can.

notyournegro.bsky.social•1 day ago

Absolutely. I cut back significantly and only shop at black owned stores or stores that would hire me.

Even my dispensary is black owned. I do not play.

chrisholly.bsky.social•1 day ago

I'm not buying anything unless I really need it. I'm also trying to be more particular about where I shop.

resistsaj.bsky.social•18 hours ago

Me too. I’m buying in Canada.

chrisholly.bsky.social•18 hours ago

I can't manage that, but I got a Costco membership and am trying to buy at more small businesses where possible. I just found out we have a Penzeys nearby too.

chicagojcb.bsky.social•1 day ago

The only places I am even going on Friday are to the library and to my orchestra rehearsal for Sunday's concert.

thatnicelotionlady.bsky.social•1 day ago

I was supposed to work that day.
Retail.

*cough cough* this lingering dry cough though.

Looks like I'm not 🤭😏

notyournegro.bsky.social•1 day ago

Oh no!!! Feel better.

thatnicelotionlady.bsky.social•1 day ago

Thank you!

I'm hoping to report a full recovery Saturday morning.

brat2381.bsky.social•1 day ago

😂😂😂l love this

kathleen-nuna.bsky.social•1 day ago

I moved my hair appt for this so I know the women on this thread know how much hair appts mean.

lilithvb.bsky.social•1 day ago

My people and I aren't buying anything on boycott days, but we also aren't buying anything outside of necessities or repairs until 45 and his fuckwads are out of the gov. We have a long list of companies we won't buy from, too. An app called "Goods Unite Us" available on iOS and Android for free,

11thjeff.bsky.social•1 day ago

I am so in!

...but mostly because I'm poor. Glad to have the company tho!

lilithvb.bsky.social•1 day ago

helps identify shitty brands and companies, you just search for it. You can also message them to request that they add a company that might not be listed or correcting a listing.

notyournegro.bsky.social•1 day ago

Thank you!!! I didn’t know about the App. That makes life a lot easier.

starmountan.bsky.social•1 day ago

I've been using it since November 6. I have canceled Amazon Prime (I was ADDICTED to one click purchasing!), deleted ALL Meta and TwitterX. I am boycotting Coke and all its products as well as most big retail stores. I bought a dishwasher, but while Biden was POTUS.

fraucheezpuff.bsky.social•1 day ago

Coke might be OK. They're keeping their DEI practices in check. Pepsi on the other hand...

lilithvb.bsky.social•1 day ago

Coke turned in their own people to immigration. Their own employees.

lilithvb.bsky.social•1 day ago

Yvw! Yes it does. I use it every time I shop.

jaegersmomma.bsky.social•1 day ago

I’m all the way in. Money is all these MFers understand.

emmalinabombalina.bsky.social•1 day ago

We are doing it up in Canada too!

chrisholly.bsky.social•1 day ago

Yep. I've also informed my husband and sons that they will not be spending money Friday either. They're on board when I clue them in to things like this.

This has gotten enough traction that my mom (who is not on any social media) knew about it before I told her.

thebookwizard.bsky.social•1 day ago

I’m so in

qbeyoch.bsky.social•1 day ago

i'm ready. and also trying to not just bookend spending on the day before and after. and preparing myself for longer boycotts down the road.
since November, i made it my solemn goal to put as little $$ into the orange shitstain's economy as i can.

prettykhemyst.bsky.social•1 day ago

I've had several texts myself about the 28th

djohnrowins.bsky.social•1 day ago

My tax refund clears on the 28th. An economic boycott that day will prevent me from impulse buying things I do not need nor can afford

cannabispriss.bsky.social•1 day ago

The only $$ I’m spending Friday is at a family owned restaurant we go to on Fridays after work for Pho

cdnpercy.bsky.social•1 day ago

I’ve stopped spending completely. No extra expenses. Recycling and upcycling clothing. Buying local where we can. Had to run into Walmart yesterday I. toronto. Total ghost town.

notyournegro.bsky.social•1 day ago

That’s fantastic

cdnpercy.bsky.social•1 day ago

It’s giving me hope. Also, I just learned wth is going on in Serbia today too. Holy shit!!! The kids there have had it!

liberallibrarian.bsky.social•1 day ago

Did you say... GHOST TOWN?

https://youtu.be/RZ2oXzrnti4?si=slPWreP2KEC0rc7M

linimentcake.bsky.social•1 day ago

I'm ready! And I just reminded my sister too. She was gonna buy out dinner on Friday but she's gonna do it tomorrow instead.

drreginamichelejd.bsky.social•1 day ago

Yes I’m in. I just had a friend who is not at all online text me about it!

suemq.bsky.social•1 day ago

I already canceled Amazon Prime and Target Circle memberships and used the savings to double my monthly donation to ACLU. F the MFers.

notyournegro.bsky.social•1 day ago

That was smart

libbityboo.bsky.social•1 day ago

I'm ready!

travandboo.bsky.social•1 day ago

Heading to the grocery right now and making certain I have meals planned through Friday.
(Whispers: Because- Miss Aja told me to.😂)

notyournegro.bsky.social•1 day ago

That’s hilarious.

brat2381.bsky.social•1 day ago

I’m screaming 😂

Yep. You already know l was/am going to be sending reminders ❤️

libbityboo.bsky.social•1 day ago

🤗🤗🤗😂😂😂

kacey325.bsky.social•1 day ago

Yup. Even my mom and her circle of friends across the country have talked about it. They aren't really on social media that much. I'm really interested to see how many people do it.

jamiesbowen.bsky.social•1 day ago

Yes!! I'm going to the store in the morning & making sure my nbaughter has what they need taken care of so none of us are spending $ on the 28th! 😁

pissyrabbit.bsky.social•1 day ago

One been practicing by not spending anything outside of my neighborhood for like 3 months. Only my
zip code gets my dollars.

anita1956.bsky.social•1 day ago

We had already bought advance tickets to a tourist site but are packing our own lunch to take with us. Not spending a dime for 24 hours and continuing to boycott a long list of brands and stores. Last hold out is Amazon Prime but have cut shopping there by 90% and heading to 100%. 💰 talks!

pissyrabbit.bsky.social•1 day ago

We have a prime amount that’s already paid for for the year but I’ve been refusing to rent movies from them. I only use Apple TV. For now. I’m going to be watching them closely. They are real iffy rn.
