I noticed here recently that almost every Mcdonalds restaurant is offering free coffee to anyone and everyone everyday. My assumption is that they just launched a new brand of coffee and this way they can try to attract customers while potentially stealing them away from other big companies like Starbucks.<\/p>\n
For myself I am not a coffee drinker and so this doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t affect me at all. What this made me think of is how this could easily get someone hooked on a product that you normally would have spent nothing on it. Eventually you will and it will add up as an extra expense. I actually avoid taking free stuff a lot in these types of scenarios if it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a situation where a person wants you to try something you are unfamiliar with.<\/p>\n
Example, I would be inclined to pass on an offer of say getting a free one month subscription for a magazine of some sort unless I was specifically looking to potentially subscribe to it ahead of time. Otherwise I find that you usually set yourself up to try and justify in introducing this new habit\/product into your lifestyle.<\/p>\n
Of course it must be working for businesses for them to continually provide offers like these. But if the goal is to save money then simply not being greedy is one way to continually train your habits from over indulging or having too much clutter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
