It is worth it?
It is worth it? It’s Boxing Day, December 26, 2014, 9 AM… I’m on my way to pick-up my 3 boys so they can be with me for a few days. The morning is calm, about 0C/32F; I jump on the highway, I’m doing about 120kph (just under 75 mph) and see this! Now I’m with this guy on the highway for about 20 minutes, I’m not sure how far he was going, but obviously further than me, since I exited the highway first. I can’t help but chuckle a little; I grabbed my cell, take a picture, because I just had to write about this. He probably got up at some ungodly hour, waited in line, to get this flat screen. He’s now driving it home in a convertible… and it’s zero out. I am fairly familiar with Consumer electronics and the pricing of them, so while I admire his determination, I know he is going to be pissed, when he sees that TV at a lower price at Super Bowl time. Do you go out shopping on Boxing Day looking for post-Christmas deals? Do you think the effort, lining up in the cold, fighting all the crowds is worth it? Find pleasure in giving pleasure |

Despite the low price and the absurd consumerism, I only buy when needed. With the cold weather is so good to be home in the warm. I wish you happy holidays. Hugs! A única alegria isenta de amargura é a de bem proceder.

I never have and don't imagine that I ever would go to the mad mash that is the Boxing Day sales. I rarely have the money sitting in my purse for one thing and being devoid of any credit cards and banking with a passbook keeps me from taking part. Good thing! I can't stand rabid crowds, have seen fatal crushes against shop doors, people being trampled. That shit is insane! I would just rather go to a stock clearance sale when people are a bit more civilized and I can access my money in banking hours if I see something that I need at a good price. The guy in the convertible could probably have sat the flat screen horizontally along the back seat which would have meant less risk of it sliding out of position, off the back of the vehicle, crashing onto the road and getting made even flatter by the next vehicle behind that didn't get enough time to brake. I admire his determination too. Find pleasure in giving pleasure
