Toady there is apparently an event of sort dubbed as a food marathon where people can literally buy food items for $1 as these would normally be about $5 or more. It’s supposed to promote a food delivery app and I am sure there will be plenty of people who take advantage of it. There are about 26 items to try for $1 and even though its excessive even I have an urge to want to try them all at that price.
It’s definitely not practical as this is one of those scenarios where you are technically spending more on stuff you don’t really need. Kind of like buying bulk foods at the grocery store where it is often a better deal but many people force themselves to consume more than they have to. With a deal this good though I am trying to find ways to make it practical. The event does last from 12pm to 8pm so you can theoretically make it your whole day’s meal. For a frugal shopper that money is still a lot as you could buy weeks of groceries with that.
If anything, if I bought everything this would be treated more like entertainment such as going to the movies. You have to have fun too right? But in normal circumstances it wouldn’t be a good habit.
