I will be spending close to $2000.00. I have been waiting for this day for weeks. Please post how much you spent today in support of business that play by the rules and hire LEGAL workers.

Well, I can tell you this- some people are going to be spending some money on my business today...
And I'm up and running because I HIRE CITIZENS. lol

We're doing our weekly grocery shopping today instead of tomorrow. Same for my Mother and Sister.

I'll probably spend about $750,000 today. It's not MY money, I have to sign a couple subcontracts for my company.

I will spend a few hundred anyway, time for my weekly carton of cigarettes.

I'm going to go about my normal day. I'm an American citizen and I shouldn't have to prove my value over illegal invaders. Our Country was prospering long before any mexicans snuck in.

$19.74 so far for smokes and a coffee.

I plan to knock off work early and go out shopping this afternoon. I am going to print up some papers for any stores I come across that are closed: "if you are closed because you value illegal invaders of your country more than your fellow citizens and customers, this customer has noticed, and from now on I will go elsewhere to do business."

Just ordered a some spring school uniforms for my kids. already $75.00.

I spent $60 (20 gals) for gas this morning, and will now spend another $100 or so, food shopping. (My 7-day work week forces me to do it during the weekdays.)

I ran out of beer just as this boycott thing happened. So ironically enough, I'll be buying a case of Corona.

I am having a baby shower for a relative this weekend, plus a get together at my house Friday, so I am going to go out and spend lots today getting ready for my parties.

waited until today to get my new golf bag and driver. over $500. also urging all mr friends who hire daily contractors to FIRE anyone who doesn't show up today.

[IndyTiger]

We will be grocery shopping today as well. I had a trip to Wal-Mart planned for later this week, but I have moved it up to today. I'm also going to stop at Lowe's on the way home from work to pick up a Mother's Day gift. Plan to spend several hundred at least by the end of the day.

Geesh...the old lady better not see this thread, or I'll be seeing a giant blot of patriotism on my next credit card statement.

[mikemc282002]

I will be "spending" about half of the money that I will earn today in taxes. Much of this will be going to support the slobs you see in the street today. A simple thank you note would have been nice. Instead, they'll probably block traffic.

[FunkyZero]

It's been kiling me to wait, but I've held off until today to go buy my shiny new Kimber super match II. Can't wait til time to get off work! I've been saving for a long time.
I'm also going to empty my own trash cans at work before I leave. See? I'll do the jobs that nobody else will...

[ko_kyi]

I figure home depot will get hit hard, so I am going to buy a high end laser level.

[Think free or die]

I've planned a day of shopping - food, household goods, kids' clothing for camp, lawn care supplies, and a new coffee press. First, however, I'll make sure the flag is waving in front of the house!
