So far I have avoided all the shopping mayhem. I am not a shopper. Being a typical grumpy old man, I buy only what I go to get. If I need a shirt, I go and get a shirt. It doesn’t matter to me what’s on sale between the shirts and the store exit. And, I hate to stand in line, so I don’t go to buy when the entire population of the country is in the stores.
Up until this year, I’ve had little problems with buying on-line. There are at least two sites that were down when I tried to buy a camera and a computer. I do hope that this is not a sign of things to come.
Maybe this year, I won’t buy any presents. Instead, I will just tell those folks we get for, that they can have what they want. If they go to the store and get it. No on-line. You have to go and get it, on the second day after Christmas. That’s the prime return day for everything purchased that no one wanted. By the time they wait in the lines, they will have forgotten what they came to get.
Another of my wonderful plans on how to save money.
