I liked buy discount things before,and I often found I bought things I didn't need at all when I got home.I haven't wear some of the discount clothes even once and I don't kown how to get rid of them.they cost me some money more or less.and if I saved the money,I could buy a nice skirt I can really wear on some occasion.

Fortunately it never happens to me. It doesn't mean I do not like discounted things though, because I do. I tend to buy only the things I need. I usually do not buy thing that I do not need even if they are put on sale. Discount is a good deal, but not that important because I'll buy things I need eventhough there is no cutting price.

I like to buy things that are on discount. But I only buy the things I need and can use. I don't buy things I can't use or that would be a waist of money then I would kind of regret it after that. But other then that I always tend to buy things me and my family need.

i like to buy discounted items but am not one who would buy a discounted item if i don't need it. i do believe that many people buy discounted items even if they don't need them for they think they would be able to save on these. it's the other way around for the discounted item would prove to be useless or not fitting for them.

hi zhouxi^^;;
you are right with that, that the more we try to buy discounted items, the more we buy things we don't need and there we overspend.
so in my case, i just buy discounted items that i think i really need it. i'm not a compulsive buyer but i buy what i really want to buy no matter they are discounted or not. it means that i have already planned the budget and save the extra if i got lucky to buy it on sale rather than buying another item.
happy lotting and happy halloween

yaa i like to buy discount items but only those which branded companies offer discounts.
In other discounts sales, some unknown company sell defective products so its very risky to buy.
Some Companies offers discounts because their stock is full, so they sell in cheap price,some companies do it to compete with other companies & to attract customers.
While buying discounts product one should go for well known reputed company, so that there is no chance that you can feel cheated after-wards.
Happy mylotting ^_^

I buy a lot of things which are on discount. Some times, the things which I buy in a discount is quite useful, and some times it is a total waste. If you have a will power, you can stop this. Unfortunately for me, I do not have such sort of will power, and I am always a sucker for discounted items.

I love to buy discounted things as i find they are just as good as normal priced things,you also tend to get alot lot more for your money.If i do not need anything i tend not to buy it as i hate to waste my money on things that i am not going to use.There are alot of people out there that buy for the sake of buying something and never use what ever they have bought.

Hi zhouxi, honestly? Yes. :) Well - not because it is cheap, or will not be used. I try to use it at all costs. :) But more because I tend to view it like this - if I dont buy it, one of those shopkeepers is going to buy it in wholesale, and sell it to me on hefty margins. And I would be buying it under the impression that this is quality material, till I am proved wrong of course. I might as well get it cheap. :)

hi zhouxi!
Oh yes! I buy discounted items because it will save me more money. But not to a point that I'm buying a certain thing just because it's on sale even if I don't need it. I think it's not practical to buy things that you don't need at all. I would rather spend my money on things that I need most, even its not cheap than spend it to a discounted item that I will just stock on my room. I will for sure just regret buying those items. Happy Lotting!

Hi,friends!In your questions,I have to say that I also like to buy discount things.Because compare to same commodity not only its cheaper but also its quality also same.Compare to others,I often choose to commodity in its current,and then buy its when its discount.This not only economy but also obtain contended.

The question is, why pay more? when we can actually have the same item at a cheaper cost. Of course, provided that the quality remains the same and there is no slack in any part of the service or goods. I like to buy cheaper items of the same quality. Something that is bought if it is worth the price.

Hi zhouxi.
Yes of course I like to buy discount things.
I think most of people like to buy discount things.
If you just need to pay for lower price for one item with discounts than pay for the other item that you need to pay for higher price because they don't give you discounts.
But sometime you need to be aware about the quality of that items that you want to buy.
They give you discounts for that item doesn't meant that the item tru price is lower than they give to you.
Maybe its also related to the quality of the products or maybe that item is not original and that why they give you discount for that item.
Well, before we buy something we need to check the quality and market price.
Have a nice day!
