I loved every moment of this (and your LinkedIn post!!!). The underconsumption core bit was my favorite because I’ve been obsessing over second hand fashion resellers and new fashion tech like Phia and Encore 👀
Really interesting read! I do wonder how much of Black Friday sales being + vs LY is people feeling the need to wait for a deal rather than buying full price i.e I bought a Shark hair-styler for £200 instead of £300 after careful planning and knowing it would be a worthwhile investment but maybe that’s just my own wishful thinking
Thank you! Smart that you waited to buy the Shark Styler on sale. I think many people were also waiting out for the BF sales to buy for holiday gifts, etc. On another note - I also just read something that said many people are used the “Buy Now, Pay Later” payment plans for Black Friday deals, which is kind of concerning because it’s a quick fix to buy stuff, but then you’ve got debt to contend with. The Black Friday sales are super fun but also I feel like the marketing of them was on full blast this year, making it hard not to spend $$$
