I've never been one to shop for deals.

I've always thought you get 100% off the things you don't buy.

I save quite a bit of money only buying things I really need, or are truly important to me.

A friend of mine once had this big ass box in his living room. I asked what the deal with that is. He said he bought a tv because it was "too cheap to not buy" the tv was worse than the one he had, so he moved that tv like twice and after 3 or so years he gave it away because he moved in with his girlfriend who also already had a tv. He still somehow thinks that was a good investment because how cheap it was.

The logic is that you buy what you need during this time, but it became a scam a few years back.

Same, although if there is something I want/need and there isn't a rush it is nice to hold out for a sale so I spend even less.
