Will buy on Black Friday only if it massively less expensive and already on my wants/needs list. Plus, dropping Amazon Prime membership when it expires in January. Cutting that cord that makes it so easy to buy online with free shipping! It means giving up Whole Foods, Prime network and Audible, but will force me to use library for books and listens as well as more shopping locally.

May I also suggest bookshop.org if you want a book to keep? You can support my friend Kelley's store: https://bookshop.org/shop/doubledog

Thank you for recommending Bookshop! My store is on there, as well, if anyone would like to support a Latinx business. https://bookshop.org/shop/duendedistrict

I'm doing a home reno right now, so I have a few items related to that project that I'm watching for good deals on...but I'm going to try hard NOT to buy clothes. There's nothing I'm really craving right now beyond impulse purchases and I would feel so proud if I got through the weekend without succumbing to the siren song of J. Crew...

Oooh, I didn't know! Yes, we are planning to do our kitchen in summer 2025 and it's all planned, so we're definitely going to be buying appliances before 1/20, although I guess that's more 🍑 related than black friday related...
