Tuesday Topics- Black Friday!
What do you do on Black Friday? I… go to work. It’s one of my least favorite days to work, to be honest. I COULD take the day off- but then I wouldn’t get paid, and, there are other people at work who have young kids and need the day off for travel, so I don’t feel right about taking off just because I don’t feel like working (don’t worry though- I’m taking Boxing Day off this year, and I’m excited about that!) Since it’s a work day for me, I don’t usually do any shopping on Black Friday. I’m not opposed to it- I know some people consider Black Friday a “buy nothing” day. I’ll buy something if I want to, but there are other days I’m more likely to do my shopping. Let’s pretend for a moment that I DIDN’T have to work on Black Friday. I would sleep in, then get up, make a big cup of Earl Grey tea and get out the pumpkin pie (yes- pie for breakfast. Obviously). Then I would do some online shopping, starting with… AbeBooks. I usually get my Christmas Book Flood books from Amazon, but this year I’m going to shop from used bookstores. I recently got three books from Abe- they were used, but in perfect condition, and I paid a total of $14 for all three (including shipping). Another great site is thriftbooks. I could happily spend a morning browsing through both sites. Fitness-wise, I do most of my shopping at REI. Their holiday sale starts November 14th. I need running shoes! And shorts, socks, and new gels… luckily I earn rewards points every time I shop there. If you want a great guide to Black Friday shopping, check out Jenn’s post today!
