Now that BND is over, let's have it peoples... who bought what?
- 2 coffees from the local cafe (free trade as always)
- $1.00 tip on the two coffees if that counts
that was my spending for yesterday

Kudos, Rev!! I was working yesterday and instant coffee (in the lunchroom) is as much coffee as powdered milk is a real dairy product...so I had no choice!
No1, to me, the necessities like zigzags, smokes and beer and uh oh yes food... don't count ... so you're in the clear

Glad to hear that.
I think Boxing Day should be added to the buy nothing day as it is similar to the Black Friday in America.

I remember back in the early 90's when we had our first Boxing Day open to the retail stores (even though it was against the law still) I called the cops on our store because it pissed me off so much. Unfortunately the feckers didn't show for 5 hours even though they were RIGHT BESIDE US - Literally the next building.
If it were up to me I'd have Ontario re-adopt no-Sunday shopping.

Last Boxing day my car broke down in front of the mall. Right where it made life a nightmare for anyone trying to get in.... PEOPLE WERE SOOOOO MAD. It was freaking hilarious (I wasn't laughing then).
Like no one cared that I was a woman alone in a broken down car, they only cared that I was interfering with their cheap shopping day. Ya, Merry Christmas to all. Good Times.

I was feeling a bit guilty for buying a copy of the Daily Rag and a loaf of bread yesterday...but not now
What an interesting thread this turned out to be, perhaps the far left decided on November 26th for no shopping so they can spend the money on December 26th?
Six million plan to go Boxing Day shopping

I did all my Christmas shopping on November 25.
And just for good measure, I went and bought a bunch of other stuff I didn't need and promptly through it out.

Good Gawd, notta chance I would go to a store on the 26th unless that overwhelming desire to be seen on the news standing atop a light pylon with a rifle hit me.
