just buy the thing on sale?

I only buy something if I need it and then I will take the time to look for the best price (which is also a price I am willing to pay for it, if not I don't need it). I also go to second hand shops. I think the older I get the less interested I am to buy or "collect" stuff. It's just a waste of money and be honest: how much do you really need of all that is surrounding you? How much do you use daily?

Hi there Xiaoqian19880825! I used to do that when we were living in the city. I buy things that are on sale and just save them so that I can give them as gifts for Christmas or any occasion that I forgot to buy a gift for the celebrant. It is a good thing to do because it saves time and it saves you if you actually forgot to buy a gift. Usually, too, I would have to buy a few things to complete my list for Christmas since I already have some stuff bought from sales.

It's good to be frugal and find sales but sometimes "Sales" really aren't sales. You have to really take the time and figure out if what you are buying on sale is worth it. If there's something you have been wanting for a while, then you should check a few stores, websites and price shop to see what the price is, and then when that item goes on sale, check the starting price that they are listing it at, and figure out if it's worth it to buy it. I have seen where some stores up the "regular" price, when the item are put on sale, and so it looks like you are getting one heck of deal. And unfortunately, alot of people fall for this because they think... wow... it's "regular price is 90 dollars and it's on sale for 55 dollars so I am saving 35... but if you'd been price watching before you'd notice that they up'ed the price and if you'd bought it before it went on sale you would have only paid 60 dollars for it to begin with.. It's crazy how this works and how we see things, so we really gotta be careful on how we spend our money. I am a clearance shopper, but only for out of season things. Buying winter in the summer for clothes, spring in the fall and vice versa, becuase I know those are all good deals and the stores are just trying to move the items to make room for the new seasonal things. It takes up some space in the house to store some of those things but in the long run, for me, it works.

I used to buy a lot of things on sales too, and unfortunately many of them landed in the garbage... I often had to realize that what I bought was impossible to use or broken, and stores don't pay money back for things that were on sale. So instead of a good deal I wasted my money. Now I always go shopping with a list, so I don't end up buying things I don't need. It can be a good idea to stock up on things that you can use well later, if you can spend a bit more than what is necessary.

i prefer nsales even though im not really saving

As for my opini0n and based on my own experience.,buying on sale products is not a good investment. Most of the times, malls, boutiques,give discounts to their products because the product is already crampled Or the products are nearly out of date and out of the weather. Sometimes, Nearly poisonuos.

by only shopping clearances and sales and even with using coupons, you often buy stuff you really don't need which wastes money.
