Charity Friday

Today is known as Black Friday, the day on which everyone is urged to shop. Many people are choosing to participate in Buy Nothing Day. But, if you are in search of deals today, consider donating a portion of your savings to a worthy cause. Save $100 on a TV? Give half of that to a nonprofit near you. And what if every shopper did this today? Then, a day traditionally known for consuming could become a day traditionally known for giving. Tally up your receipts when you get home and get out your checkbook – this time for donation.
