Sale - Buy Something You Don't Want, Don't Need
Most of us watch for sales and in fact a lot of times won't buy an item until it comes on sale, for now days we know eventually anything of value will be on sale sooner or later. So we watch for the advertising sales flyers to arrive at our door, check online or go to the local stores to see what is on sale.
The real catch is when you get to that store and check other things that are on sale at the same time as the item you want is. You browse around taking a look at all the sale tags on various sale items.
There's a good price on that. Hey look, that's half price. Look at that, you never see that on sale. And this - this is never on sale and it is reduced about 60% or more. Got your cart full yet?
Happens often doesn't it? You go on that journey to look at what is on sale and come home with all kinds of stuff you don't need. But it was a good price. What? You don't do that? Many people do, that's how they hook you to buy stuff they couldn't otherwise sell. That's my theory anyway.
How else would I have a flexible rubber moisture proof keyboard? Or else a thingy that has four usb connections, a telephone connection and some other thing-a-ma-jig that fits into an inch and a half hole that you drill in a table. They didn't cost much. I got them on sale, for only a few dollars each.
No wonder my room keeps filling up with junk. But it is all handy to have in case I need it. Gotta go now. There's a sale on downtown. Have to get there right away to see if there is anything else on sale for a good price that I don't need.
