I’m the only person who buys even a single thing like once a week? 🙃
Every day is buy nothing day for my broke ass.
So, go on with my normal everyday life?
Right? Way ahead of ya, chief.
I bought about 400 dollars of smart technology
Na, I’m poor, and I’m not going to feel bad for getting some bulk household essentials at a significant discount today.
I get not wanting to participate in unnecessary consumption, but this classist view that everyone can afford to ignore big discounts on items they actually need (which definitely do exist among the other noise) is just another high horse people need to get off of and instead focus their energy fighting the system that leaves people desperate for discounts in the first place, not on telling those people off.
I really don’t think they’re talking about essentials. Although around here I’m not seeing any deals on things like toilet paper, baby formula or anything like that.
If anything, the classism that happens is the manipulation of folks who think they’ll get a TV on sale when it’s usually too low on stock and it’s only used as a lure to get folks in the door. The better deals tend to come after the holidays, too.
Are essential items on sale? I didn’t look around much but most things truly on sale are garbage electronics.
