Buy Nothing Day

November 26th The day after thanksgiving is seen as "Black Friday" where people are expected to shop till they drop. In recent years a movement has started to push for a buy nothing day on that friday, where instead of buying, people express themselves in ways that go against consumer culture.

Here are some cool instructables to help you celebrate Buy Nothing Day! Whether you want to start a flash mob, or spend your day knitting mittens, you can celebrate with out spending a dime.

I think you mean "shop till they drop" not "drop till they shop"

Drop lifting is the opposite of shop lifting. It's where one places products on a store shelf. Some musicians get their music in stores this way. 

My favorite example of drop lifting involved someone buying 300 "Teen Talk" Barbies and "Talking Duke" G. I. Joes. The electronics in them were interchangeable so after a little switchcaroo/toy brain surgery..... GI Joes with Barbie voices and the inverse were found neatly back in their boxes on store shelves. 

"Attack!" "Vengeance is mine!"
"Eat lead, Cobra!"
"Will we ever have enough clothes?"
"Let's plan our dream wedding!"
