It's Black Friday, the biggest shopping date in the year. This year, the USA is expected to spend over $3 billion, an 11.5% increase over last year.
Want to beat the queues and make huge savings? Stay in bed and enjoy that lie-in, or try a haulternative, a fun way to refresh your wardrobe without buying new clothes. Whatever you do, don’t let Black Friday control you, you take control to use the biggest shopping date to your own advantage, like Patagonia is. Patagonia, an outdoor clothing retailer, is using Black Friday to advance their cause. This year, Patagonia is donating 100% of its profits -- estimated to be about $2 million -- made from Black Friday to grassroots environmental groups. The donations will come from sales at both its 80 global stores and online. This strategic move isn’t entirely out of character for Patagonia. The company already donates 1% of its sales to environmental organizations. This year, I’m making my mark as well by abstaining from Black Friday this year. What are you doing to make yours? http://money.cnn.com/2016/11/21/news/patagonia-black-friday/index.html?iid=surge-story-summary

Props to Patagonia for creating some positivity out of the Black Friday mayhem.
