Buy Nothing Day

rock_fish

Today is Buy Nothing Day in my camp. Though I celebrate alone, I urge you to look into it. Almost like Festivus

Some music to further help you get in the mood and relax. The antithesis of the maniacs out there today

Until we challenge the entrenched values of capitalism – that the economy must always keep growing, that consumer wants must always be satisfied, that immediate gratification is imperative – we’re not going able to fix the gigantic psycho-financial-eco crisis of our times.The journey toward a sane sustainable future begins with a single step. It could all start with a personal challenge, such as this: make a vow to yourself to participate in Buy Nothing Day this year. This November 29th, go cold turkey on consumption for 24 hours … see what happens … you just might have an unexpected, emancipatory epiphany!
Buy Nothing Day is legendary for instigating this type of personal transformation … as you suddenly remember what real living is all about … you sense an upsurge of radical empowerment and feel a strange magic creeping back into your life.
Join millions of us in over 60 countries on November 29/30 and see what it feels like. Then, after Buy Nothing Day, take the next step … for generations, Christmas has been hijacked by commercial forces … this year, let’s take it back.
And why not get playful while you’re at it!? … Put up posters, organize a credit card cut up, pull off a Whirl–mart, or a Christmas Zombie walk through your local mall.

Saved about $160 today on stuff I needed to get anyway. Saved around $400 on stuff we needed today and yesterday. **** near picked up a guitar that was $250 off today too but didn't need that as much as wanted it.

Perfect. You spent money to save money. Perfect.

I ran up to Orlando this morning, as my favorite aquarium store, World Wide Corals, was having a big sale on their corals. I left having spent around a car payment, but saving quite a bit.

I have to say, this for $299, was very tempting. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B008QVR1Q6/ref=gb1h_****_c-2_6362_22b6f172?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_t=701&pf_rd_s=center-new-2&pf_rd_r=0HAGT2VC518AVTVWJ0ZK&pf_rd_i=20&pf_rd_p=1673666362
