stop thinking I have to buy stuff just because it's on sale (read all 10 entries…)
Not 100% there 2 years ago

I’ve slipped a couple of times but not in a bad way. I still need to avert my gaze whenever I see a SALE sign. They’re everywhere all year round it seems.

I’ve had some largish purchases but these were needed.

Didnt there used to be Sale times?

You’re right. Theres always a sale on somewhere, and they prey on you, like the beasts of the Serengeti.

I hate constant sales

I know there are regulations but there are ways of rotating sale stock so some is always full priced and therefore valid for future sales.

Grrr

Constant sales are bad.

Having to decide what you really “need” is worse IMHO. If we were 100% sure about what we did and didn´t need, this whole goal would be a lot easier :-)

It's a GAME...

The trick is to budget!!!
I love to save money, and feel like I got the best deal on things I’ve purchased. Stick to your lists, and keep track of how much you save by waiting to find the items you need on sale. I waited for two years for a flat panel monitor, and bought a GREAT name brand monitor for $133 with tax!!! Discount shopping is fun, but any addiction can be cumbersome and difficult to conquer. Keep a budget and celebrate how much you’ve been able to save!
