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.

I have to go to work...Does gas money count?

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

[stevio]

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

[Toby06]

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.

[tort_feasor]

$19.74 so far for smokes and a coffee.

[Heatseeker]

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."

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.

[codercpc]

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.

[jsk10]

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.

[RWR8189]

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.

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!

[SlowBoat407]

I usually wait a couple of days to phone in credit card receipts from my wife's art shows. This time, I did it so they'd show up as purchases today.

And we had a good day yesterday.

[wolfcreek]

Our economy does NOT depend on poor, uneducated, unskilled illegal immigrants from Mexico

Aside from the cans of beans and a few packages of tortillas missing from the grocery shelves, the rest of the money they would have made today, would have been sent south regardless. I hope the truancy laws are in full force today. ($500 fines for the parents)

Many thanks for starting this- I'll keep a watch on it, and crosslink it here:

On a personal note?

Me & Mrs. B ( daughter of two whole families of legal immigrants ) have postponed all major household purchases for this day, and we will make a point, when shopping today, of mentioning this little factoid.

I propose May 1st be hereafter known as Capitalism Day!
