Ya, we all need to hear this. But it should have come out a week ago.

In a word.

DON'T!!!

Just don't spend money you don't have on something that looks shiny and fun that you will use once like the Erector Set you begged dad for when you were a kid.

(This is how I find out who is old!)

Guy provides 5 reasons to avoid Black Friday Sales and then, 5 reasons to buy.

For me, only his 3rd Reason to buy, justifies the drama of the chase during this buying frenzy season.

Apparently he is NOT Slovenian, one of the cheapest groups of people in the world!! I know the nationality trait quite well. I am THE cheapest human being on earth. I have a can of coffee in my freezer from 2010 when a coffee drinking friend stayed here overnight on a road trip. I don't drink coffee. I will never use it. But, dammit, it cost me money so I WON'T throw it away!! I have broken shoelaces because I never know when I will need an 8 inch piece of something to tie something up with. Dropoff pieces of wood from cuts I have made... I have a fire pit but I can NEVER be sure when I will need an 11 inch piece of 2x4 so I won't burn it in the fire pit. So no Black Friday or Cyber Monday for me. LOL!!!
