It's everywhere. And I mean EVERYWHERE...
Sales mess with your mind. Usually, I will pick up a non-sale item and then put it back on the rack because I can't justify buying it and I think to myself, if only it was $X... Other times you buy it and hope it doesn't go on sale. However, when stuff is on sale, have you ever found yourself getting into a competition with the shops? Like, have you ever found yourself walking out of the shop(or almost running in case they change their mind) after snatching a bargain thinking proudly to yourself 'man, I totally ripped them off! That top used to be $59.95, and I got it for $14.95... suckers!!'.I say that in jest, but I actually saw a jacket I bought earlier go for half price at the shop yesterday (i.e. 50% less that what I paid!), and I actually thought to myself 'I should buy another one (in a different colour of course - I'm not stupid..) at half price just so I can cheat the system and wrangle out a saving on my first jacket'... Yes, I am a sad, sad person. The Business degree has totally sunk in and applied itself in my mind as you can see...
Worse thing is that there are just so many nice things around this season. And the cheap prices make it so hard to resist the temptation! I have already accidentally bought two pairs of shoes and some pants (before you give me grief about this, just know that I actually NEEDED work pants so there! But let's not talk about the shoes...) If I don't watch out, the plastic will get a bit of a shellacking in the next few weeks.

Sales always make me feel funny for ever paying full price, since I know that now I can get it cheaper.
Now if I was only better at negotiating and knowing when to negotiate...
