I read that fast as Nigeria! I won’t shop at busy stores, especially being as I am. I never liked congested parking lots and avoided those early sales days. The hassle of it isn’t worth the savings. I see hordes at pre-Thanksgiving sales. Four a.m. and long lines to fight for a few items priced very low. They offer televisions for $99 but in tiny print is “two per store. No rain checks “.

People drive thirty miles each way to save ten dollars. At twenty miles per gallon, that’s three gallons or nine dollar. You save a dollar but you use oil, brake fluid, etc. Lunch out is normal and at the end of the day, you’ve spent the regular price plus. People don’t think of that, though.

Tourists are why I used to go down The Cape or Islands off-season. Crowds, dickering for low prices, bad parking jobs, and the rude commenters. I go to relax, shop, take my time and enjoy myself.

I’m invited to a trip about thirty minutes from Ptown. Thanksgiving time is quiet, uncongested and the roads aren’t crowded. Sometimes it’s sixty degrees and sometimes it snows.

I know it’s odd but sitting on the porch with an electric blanket while it snows is eerily comforting. Every winter I’d get the oddest looks from dog walkers or joggers but I didn’t care. It’s relaxing and a great way to unwind.
