Consumers

Yesterday was Buy Nothing Day. While I support the spirit of the movement, I must confess that I did make some purchases.

Copies for my job applications.

Priority mail w/ delivery confirmation for five applications.

Three reams of paper and toner for the printer.

Milk and other groceries.

So nothing lavish, nothing *consumeristic*, nothing indulgent. I did look through the piles of ads that came with the newspaper and sighed with melancholy realizing that we can't afford anything. I must admit, though, that there was very little that captured my fancy.

For all you bargain hunters out there, I hope you found your terrific deals.
