Don't do it, quit giving these greedy corporations money for crap you don't need

[ygbodybuilder]

Same people buying a tv every year how many do you need

[bobsilver]

Sheeple buying things they don't need with money they don't have.

When the credit cards are maxed out there is alternative like buy now pay later... when the bills are due, only pay minimum amount plus interest, and keep buying until debts are mounted and they never get fully paid.

Forget Walmart or BB. The real deals have been at Nordstrom and Louis Vuitton, 100% OFF for the past week!!!

People are dumb. They just say the tv that was originally $500 last month is on a black friday sale for $700 and people just buying it cuz they just caught up in the hype

I only have enough money to buy groceries and toiletries.

[anaml]

Why people, why?... Why do you want to give your money away. So weird.

[kolbykolby]

There isn't a damned thing on the shelf of any store that would make me go out into the madness.

[slapshot]

I’ll walk across the Brooklyn bridge in a Speedo if not one shooting happens by Monday 😂😂😂

[tammiebroggins]

This is so sad. I only have enough for basics. I'm houseless.

Amazon delivers everything from soup to nuts. No need to go to a store. Just order online.

[kristinbelcastro]

I'm pretty sure that's the only way you can shop those are the only 2 options online or in store... I don't get that..

If your last name is “Oliver” you’re built to be a news reporter

"I don't really need these products, but they're discounted so much I have to buy them!" If America wanted everyone to be vaccinated, they should've hired advertisers to convince people to get it.
