About Us

‘We don’t need any more TVs or appliances. We need those groceries to go on sale.’

Our journey began with a simple idea and a deep-seated desire for change. In a world often consumed by rampant consumerism and the never-ending cycle of buying, discarding, and buying again, we felt the need to challenge this status quo. As we watched Black Friday become synonymous with long lines, crowded stores, and mindless spending, we knew there had to be a better way. The ever-rising inflation rates added to the financial strain many faced, making finding alternatives even more crucial.

The inspiration behind our group came from a vision of creating a space where our community could come together to curb inflation, reduce waste, and embrace a more mindful approach to consumption. With a shared vision and a belief in the power of community, our Black Friday Barter group was born. It started with a small group of friends and neighbors who wanted to make a positive change. We're in the early stages of this journey, and our first-ever Black Friday Barter exchange is on the horizon. Our goal is simple yet profound: to offer an alternative to the traditional Black Friday shopping frenzy and create a space where the spirit of giving, sharing, and reducing waste can flourish.

We're at the beginning of something special, and we invite you to be a part of it. Join us as we embark on this path to a more thoughtful and sustainable Black Friday. Together, we can make a difference, one exchange at a time.
