This Memorial Day, Boycott Shopping
This Memorial Day Weekend, be “un-American.”
Don’t go to the shopping mall.
Don’t buy a new car (despite the auto makers giving away $2500 a car rebates “this week only”).
Don’t buy new furniture (despite La-Z-Boy’s ads.)
You really don’t need to use that 20% off coupon at Bed, Bath & Beyond.
Stay home. Grill. Play in the backyard with your kids. Walk to the beach. Bike in the mountains. Read a book on your balcony.
Just take a break from shopping for one weekend. You might discover there are more options that can bring joy than simply whipping out the credit card.
Simplify your life. Start this weekend.
I hope everyone has a safe Memorial Day and remembers the reason we have Monday off. It isn’t to buy new sheets at that Memorial Day sale.
