Because I live on an Island where most shops sell seashells and dive gear and I have to drive to Miami for any real bargains. I did boycott on the Black Friday days but I’ve ordered essentials once that was over. But I promise to try extra hard in the New Year. AND great news, we are getting an Aldi in January so at least I can avoid the dastardly Publix stores.
