I was looking at this Walmart flyer today where the store seems to be having an anniversary sale and there were some very cheap prices for grocery items. Most of it were processed foods where even though I normally wouldn’t buy too many of them the lure of things like a large bag of frozen fries for one dollar tends to make you say “why not” in trying it out.
Overall I know it would be a waste of money though and I usually just convince myself to not to do it as I am usually saving for something bigger where one dollar out means getting that item slower. That’s usually how I end up with all of the more expensive stuff where people think I must be over spending to get them. Really though, you probably spend more in a year if you usually buy things because of sales like those. So maybe saving up for something bigger is all you need too to help discipline yourself.
