Buy With Purpose

Thanksgiving week is (already) here. After the grateful gatherings of family and friends and displays of thanks and gratitude (and the food coma wears off ), the day after we honor what we’re thankful for, we “celebrate” consumerism at its finest. Isn’t it ironic?

Don’t get me wrong - I do buy a few things on Black Friday. But, as I try to live a more intentional, efficient and minimalist lifestyle, I have made a conscious effort to adjust my spending habits and reevaluate my mindset as a consumer. I try my best to make deliberate purchase decisions, delay gratification and seriously consider the quality, purpose and benefit for my family of my purchases.

When you shift your mindset, you bring less into your home, save time and save money. AND the items you DO buy are more…

• Durable
• Sustainable
• Purposeful
• Utilitarian
• Lovable

How do you feel about Black Friday? Shopping in general? Any tips and thoughts?
