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.
