Along with being the official start of Christmas shopping season, Friday Black Friday, of courseis Buy Nothing Day. The day of no shopping is Nov. 27 in the United Kingdom and Nov. 26 in the United States, so enjoy it a day later if you're crossing the pond to find some bargains.
We expect to be filled with turkey and gravy on Friday, and plan to join this anti-Black Friday movement by not buying anything on Black Fridayincluding shopping on the Internet. No matter who you are, you could probably use a day off from the retail trenches. We've come up with some alternate Black Friday activities to keep your mind out of the stores and your bank account in the black.
Going into debt is a terrible way to start the new year, so follow our lead and try at least one of these ways to avoid the biggest day of shopping temptation this year:
We recommend staying home in front of a cozy fire and reading your favorite book. If you don't already have a few unread books sitting around, then go buy one before Friday or better yet, borrow one from a friend or go to the library. If you're unsure what to read, start with the New York Times' bestseller list. Or, if you're looking to get inspired, check out one of these. Want to brush up on your investing? We have those, too.
