This was kind of a surprise as yesterday I went to look for these peanuts that were on sale which my parents wanted and it seemed like it was limited in supply. So, I just bought two for them. I asked my mom if she wanted more but at first she mentioned this may be good enough as having too many would encourage her to indulge more than she would. So today when I was at a different store of the same chain I saw bags of these same peanuts which looked like ag rat opportunity to stock up for my parents.
Remembering what my mom said though, I decided to buy more but this time I actually jus stored them away to then give to her after so that when she was actually planning to buy some at a regular retail price I can just give her these that I bought to help her replenish. Usually when I buy a few items like these they are meant for the storage to be consumed at a future date where it’s a strategy of sort to not have to pay full retail price ever.
I think the only times I really indulge is if I was going to say a party or something because when it comes to grocery shopping I usually purchase things frequently when it comes to fresh perishable items which means I have to plan ahead of time on how much I would like to consume. I wouldn’t buy ten pounds of apple if I really only needed one for the week as an example. I end up just having a mini convenience store of my own so that I can shop the best deals as usually.
