The other day I spent a but of money to qualify for a lot of bonus reward points and one thing I was thinking of getting were these large bags of mixed nuts.  The store normally lists them for over $15 a bag which is outrageous as even other stores sell it for less as a regular price.  The other day they were listed at $12.  So I was debating if I should buy them as the filler items to reach my minimum purchase threshold.  I decided to hold back as I have seen them go for under $10 many times.  So I wouldn\u2019t really be saving as much with the points if I bought it at that price. So, I left it.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.al6400.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/nuts1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"18568\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.al6400.com\/blog\/being-glad-i-didnt-buy-normal-sale-priced-items\/attachment\/nuts1\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.al6400.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/nuts1.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"766,632\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"nuts1\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/www.al6400.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/nuts1-300x248.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.al6400.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/nuts1.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.al6400.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/nuts1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"766\" height=\"632\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-18568\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.al6400.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/nuts1.jpg 766w, https:\/\/www.al6400.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/nuts1-300x248.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 766px) 100vw, 766px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>With that in mind, look at what I saw today.  Those exact same mixed bag of nuts of multiple varieties are now on sale for $9.99.  Exactly what I expect for these items in regards to an actual good sale at a low price.  I actually got a coupon for these this week too.  I would have had buyer\u2019s remorse if I bought a bunch of these the other day.  This shows it\u2019s not a fluke when it comes to finding deals and saving money as you need to shop around and get experience on what the lowest prices for items are.<\/p>\n<p>Everything is always better when you save so much money like this as you can then invest those funds into other items.
