Black Friday
Black Friday is upon us… don’t make bad choices when shopping, shop with intention. make a list (and stick to the list) so you don’t make bad choices and end up with more clutter!
Key Takeaways to Tune In For
- [04:00] Growing up, my family did not really “do Black Friday” but when we first got married, my husband and I would check the sales ahead of time and wait in line at 4 AM on Black Friday for the electronics we wanted.
- [06:43] As I looked through the “Black Friday Specials” from these stores, I can’t help but think that the deals are not that special and my mindset has really shifted these past 6 years of becoming more Zero waste and I just feel like I don’t need to buy this and I don’t feel like I am missing out on something.
- [08:03] It is important to look at these end of year deals and carefully access what we actually need to buy, or if we just want these things.
- [08:31] Be methodical about what you buy and shop with intention.
- [09:11] When you shop with intention, you don’t have buyer’s remorse and you only buy what you truly need and items of higher quality.
- [14:33] I think that we can send a great message to our kids: Not everything in this world is one-time use.
- [15:20] My advice if you do go shopping: if you wouldn’t buy it even at full price, don’t just buy it because it’s on sale.
