How's your shopping spree yesterday? It was BLACK FRIDAY! Not too many department stores participated in the Black Friday trend in Canada. It's not a huge deal for people without money. So that's fair enough. Is it gonna be a gloomy December or gloomy sad Christmas celebration?
Too many humans with dry wallet? Millions of people unemployed? So many millions ways and so many million reasons why.
I could be wrong. Maybe the Amazon.com or the thousands of internet retail outlets are busy and buzzing for orders from their millions of customers. Maybe that's the "in thing shopping trend now." I don't order anything through the internet because of the risk involve.
Okay Black Friday is not such a big deal in Canada because BOXING DAY is better than Black Friday.
Every year is the same. If you live in the rural parts of Canada, shopping for gifts or shopping for any consumer items are not such a big deal. Most people here shopped by bulk once a month and you wont see them in another week or next week. Seldom you see people shopped goods almost everyday. The budget is always for the monthly supply.
For the most stingy, buying gifts come to an end, closer to the 24th to the 25th of December. Trying to avail discounted items. My spending habit is based on what's important.
What to buy? What is important? FOOD is the most important during the Holidays. Sharing good, delicious, scrumptious delightful food that makes everyone drools wanting to take the first bite of the appetizers and tantalizing pastries and sweet desserts.
I think we already have the butterball turkey inside the freezer. We have a chunk of pork with fat thick skin for lechon. It's the seafood that we don't have. I couldn't believe that year 2017 is not the best year for fishing. My husband hopelessly didn't catch any salmons for the past 3 months. He was able to catch dungeness crabs but no salmons. The worse thing about fishing and crabbing is the gas for the pick up truck and the boat. Without any catch, $250+ worth of gas is wasted. No, that's not quite right. It's $250+ worth of money spent without any catch. However those group of live crabs were already part of our meals and they're gone and eaten. Where all the millions of salmon species went? What happened to the salmon industry in this part of the world?
