Black Friday/Buy Nothing Day

November 26th, 2005 at 12:07 am

Actually, not quite true, I just bought needs: milk, onions, celery, and a cup of coffee from the grocery store; canned cat food from another grocery store. With me, its never a full blown Buy Nothing Day, but an eternal Buy Very Little Day. Saves money in the long run because you never binge.

Why do they call it Black Friday? Yeah, I know, but BF was the name given to the stock market crash in 1929. To my ears, today's nickname just sounds creepy.

    I just heard the other day that they call it Black Friday because it marks the day when retailers start to get "back in the black" for the year with all the Christmas spending. Don't know if this is true or not...just passing it on.
