No Black Friday Shopping, anyone else refrain?
 
I watched a YouTube video that said the average person spends a bit over $1000 Black Friday through Cyber Monday. I could not believe it.

Me, I do not need anything and have had no interest in going to a Mall or online shopping.

Have you been shopping this weekend? If yes, what did you purchase?

No shopping here yet, but I do have some fabric in my cart that I will purchase today but certainly no where near 1000.00 and certainly no where near 100.00 either. I hibernate during this time of year, it’s crazy out there!

I did some online shopping and got winter undergarments (now called base layers) and then at another site bought 3 spools of thread. That is all. No malls or crazy online shopping sprees.

I never shop on Black Friday. In fact, I hardly shop at all. I handcraft some gifts and the rest get money.

I didn't this year but often shop this weekend, all online. The only stores I'm interested in actually going to are bookstores and fabric stores. For everything else, it's online.

No, but I did a little fabric shopping last weekend.

Only online with Amazon for art supplies for granddaughter and Legos for grandson.

I've never shopped on Black Friday & it's probably been at least 15 years since I've set foot in a mall. Wow! $1,000 spending. No wonder so many people are up to their eyeballs in credit card debt. That's not for me.

I shopped last week before BF. I got the free baby deal with my Accuquilt purchase. Best part is no crying or diapers.
Not a mall shopper so no crowds for me.

We did go out Black Friday shopping as my YA children find the lines and crowds fascinating.......they grew up in a different country btw. All combined no where near 1000. The kids bought maybe $30 in dvd’s and Ugly sweaters for a Christmas party.....14.99 each with Kohl’s cash etc attached. I bought some small appliances like another crockpot an electric knife that are free after rebates, and bras.......in all after rebates, Kohl’s cash, some coupons, we spent $30 there. Dh has picked up some power cords etc he has wanted.....at the most $100. I did the big purchase last week when I picked up an extra sewing machine......a basic Viking for $399. All my attachments fit so my daughter can sew as much as she wants over Christmas holidays, and so can I.
