9 reasons Black Friday is better than Giving Tuesday

First it’s Thanksgiving. Then the shopping season begins with Black Friday and Cyber Monday, before we reach Giving Tuesday! So which day is best? Let us know your thoughts in the comments!

1. Black Friday is a chance to test your resolve, and prove you can avoid impulsive purchases. 

2. If you’re staring into your phone or pacing the mall searching for the best deal on a long-awaited purchase, Black Friday gives you a much harder workout than Giving Tuesday. (Which we need because Thanksgiving Turkey.)

3. Black Friday helps capitalism, Giving Tuesday can help humanity at a time that’s very much needed.

4. Giving Tuesday gives you a chance to be part of preventing someone from being exploited in supply chains, but Black Friday has INSANE discounts that can be hard to resist.

5. Buying a Black Friday deal gives you a buzz, but that buzz can last a lot longer with Giving Tuesday. Preventing modern slavery has an exponential impact. A new law banning child marriage protects hundreds of children today from forced marriage, and it also protects hundreds each year into the future. Before long you’ve help protect thousands! 

6. Black Friday gives you the chance to tell your friends what you think about fast fashion and challenge what we think about fashion. Have you signed the Fashion Pledge?

7. Only the strongest survive Black Friday’s chaos, the environment is struggling to survive under the waste. 

8. Lots of lucky folk in the US get to be off work on Black Friday, and still have the weekend ahead.

9. But let’s be real, Giving Tuesday is kinda way better. When December 2nd rolls around, make sure to donate from your couch, work desk, or wherever else you might be recovering from Thanksgiving and Black Friday. Let’s end modern slavery together.
