It’s that time of year again. A time when big-box chains, car and appliance companies, and malls all wring their hands over “consumer confidence" and pray shoppers will empty their wallets.
Well, mega-corps, we’re not feeling confident and fancy free. You guys keep telling us that you’re prepping for a recession and will probably be cutting jobs. It’s hard to feel festive when you’re warning us that you’re about to screw us over, you know?
"If you are an individual and you are thinking about buying a large-screen TV, maybe slow that down, keep that cash, and see what happens,” says Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezos, who plans to lay off thousands of tech workers just in time for the holidays. “Same thing with a refrigerator, a new car, whatever. Just take some risk off the table."
So yeah. Let’s take his advice. Let’s not spend it on TVs (the better sales are before the Super Bowl anyway), PS5s (good luck even finding one), SUVs with bows on them (people actually do this in real life?), and… refrigerators (no wait, just buy the fridge if you need it). If we’re going to spend money, let’s spend it on people and companies that don’t openly threaten our livelihood: Minnesota's queer makers, BIPOC businesses, museums and arts organizations, breweries, and bakers.
The following is a living guide to upcoming events and sales, and we even threw in a few online shopping links for good measure. We’ll be adding more happenings as things are announced over time, and we’ve made this handy emoji key for those who prefer to skim:
UPDATE! When I add a new item, I will tag those events with this little star thingy: 💫
