买帽子
A
I bought 10 ts of Christmas china that were marked at 75 percent off plus an additional 10 percent. It was an amazing deal. When I got them home, I found they took half a clot to store. I already have nice china I can u at Christmas. I decided it wasn’t worth it to me to u that much space for something that I would only u a couple of times in the year. I took them back and now I have more money in my checking account as well as some luxury towels I have wanted for a long time. I would have saved mylf the time of taking the china back if I had figured out beforehand what I really wanted, but it is sometimes hard to decide at the moment. This experience helped me to realize that you can actually save time and money by 催眠曲有哪些passing_up bargains.
The main advantage of getting things on sale is that you can afford luxuries that you can’t afford at regular price. My Christmas tree is covered with beautiful handmade Santa Claus ornaments(装饰物). I found them at a store about 15 months ago and fell in love with them.
I imagined how beautiful they would look on my tree. I wanted to buy some, but they were $13.95 each. It didn’t fit into our Christmas budget, so I gave up the idea. Through the next few months the price kept dropping until it went down to $2.95. When I saw that price, I bought 25 of them right away. I waited another nine months to put them on my tree, but in the end, I got exactly what I wanted for an excellent price. Instead of paying around $350, I ended up paying around $75. Patience paid off.
