It’s not easy shopping consciously during the holiday season — especially during Cyber Week. It’s a time of year notorious for overconsumption, impulse buys, and purchases that are bound for the landfill just months (or even days) later.
But I also don’t believe that sustainable living just looks ONE way. For most of us, we can’t afford to shop from conscious brands 100% of the time at 100% prices. So these sustainable and ethical Black Friday discounts can be a way to access better products for more affordable prices.
If sustainable living to you looks like boycotting Cyber Week, go for it. But if it looks like getting a few things at prices more in line with your budget during this week, then I don’t think that is “wrong” or automatically “unsustainable”. The key is to avoid overbuying and to support places aligned with your values!
Here are some things to keep in mind to engage with Cyber Week and Black Friday more sustainably!
1. A “deal” isn’t a “deal” if we’re buying things we won’t use and don’t need (or at least really really want)
2. I would NEVER encourage you to buy things *just* because it’s a “good deal”. But if we want to intentionally purchase some ethical clothing or eco-friendly gifts, these sale days can be a great opportunity to support conscious brands more affordably.
3. It’s worth asking some additional questions and taking some extra time to make these purchasing decisions because sales can skew our decision-making abilities!
4. Remember that you can find “deals” on many types of products you want on the secondhand market year-round!
5. If the whole Cyber Week affair stresses you out or you’re feeling pressured to buy more than you originally intended, know that you can step out at any time. Turn off your notifications and get outside and/or spend time with loved ones!
But if you’re ready to make a mindful investment in something for yourself, or have a long list of gifts and you want some support in shopping small and consciously, check out this list of the best sustainable and ethical Black Friday and Cyber Week deals going on. Plus, we featured some companies opting out of deals and doing donations instead.
Transparency note: we only feature brands that meet high standards for sustainability we love, that we think you’ll love too. Some of these links are affiliate links, meaning if you purchase via these links we may earn a commission, which helps us continue this site. Thanks for your support!
