Gifts. Saving money, living frugally, and not spending excessively can be a struggle around this time of year. The societal expectations to give (and at all costs) are all over the place! Don’t get deeper into debt (or back into debt) to give material objects to others.
Have you heard about Buy Nothing Day? It was made popular by AdBusters magazine. You don’t have to participate in the mass day of consumption that we all know as Black Friday. You don’t have to incur debt this season. There are lots of ways to show love, appreciation, and be in the Holiday spirit besides busting your account.
Next week will kick off my DIY Gift Guides! Because this year I’ll be making ALL of the gifts I give. If you aren’t a DIY-er then do the next best thing and support local and/or independent businesses.
I’ll be participating in Buy Nothing Day. What will you be doing on Friday? If you say you’ll be at the mega store sales I won’t judge;)
