I recently got a very good offer on my shopping app for a store where if I buy $50 worth of items they will give me $20 back in reward points. Sounds great. But this is one of the scenarios where I had no intent to spend $50 worth of goods and it can turn into a situation where I am just buying random stuff to reach the threshold. It\u2019s still a good deal, but buying stuff you don\u2019t need is a waste.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s why I usually try and see if I know friends or family members that are actually looking for items at a great deal. For example, if some people I know need eggs and I see them for about $3 a dozen then that would be a great buy they would love. By doing this, I am easily able to reach the $50 threshold where everyone gets a great deal at the end and nothing was purchased just for the sake of increasing the total.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m not sure why more people don\u2019t do this versus just randomly buying an expensive bag of chips as an example. It\u2019s a win-win for all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
