As counterpoint to the media-ized frenzy known as black friday, the idea of BND exists in some quiet corners of the land. For me it has little to do with politics and all to do with economics: I'm cheap. Frugal is a better word though as I'll wait to afford quality over instant grat and have come to appreciate the understanding of what false economy is: cheap now-inferior-throw it away vs. pay more for something that lasts 2 or 3 X as long
I'm not against shopping just the sweaty, body bumping kind. In fact I think of myself as kind of an ultimate shopper, slow and methodical, research, read reviews, get opinions. When I do shop, it's mostly online these days. Sometimes this doesn't pan out, I might go so slow as to miss a sale price. Or in the process of shopping I'll decide I don't really need the widget after all, lol.
For the most part though, excluding heavy freight or local pick-up only items, I find I can match or beat most "sales extravaganzas" with online shopping and do so year round, cool and detached.
