Discounts actually make it less likely that I will buy something. If I ever saw a product for a discounted price, that will become the maximum I will ever spend for it, because if I buy it for a higher price later, I will always see it as a loss. We had a DIY chain in Germany that went bankrupt over discounts. Once in a while if offered a 20% discount on everything except pet food. The result was that the sales at times without the discount went way down. If people needed a new lawn mower, they knew that they had to wait no more than two month or so for the next 20% discount. So unless they really needed a product immediately, they waited. So the market had to sell most stuff for a 20% discount. I still do the same with food I need on a regular bases. I know that certain brands will be discounted somewhere at least once a month or so. So I ONLY buy them when they are discounted and then I buy enough until the next discount.

Exactly. Every few months the brand of coffee I like is discounted by 20% for four weeks. Every time I go to that store during the month of the discount I pick up half a dozen jars in the offer. By the time it finishes I've got about enough to last me until the next sale. I'm not sure about the US but in the UK it isn't the supermarket that is taking the hit, it's the supplier - the supplier agrees the dates with supermarket and offers a discount based on retail sales during the month (this is "sales out" - you don't want to offer the supermarket a discount on the products you deliver to them during the month - "sales in" - because they'll just load up at the discounted price and then sell off the discounted stock at full price to boost their margins). It's only rarely that a supermarket would discount stock on it's own - the Buyers for each department are judged by their profit margins and anything that reduces that margin is bad for the Buyers job prospects.

Like the reporter said, stores do not like excess inventory and clearance is bad for their bottom line, but the sheer amount of clothing on the market means that there will always be clearance.

Here's my strategy: 1) try to avoid all advertisements and sales pitches wherever possible. Watch TV only after it has been recorded so that you can fast forward through commercials. Don't read ad mail or email. Avoid solicitors at the door or on the phone as quickly as possible. You won't avoid everything, but you can avoid a good amount of influencers of your spending. 2) make a list of what you need or want and require a justification of solving a problem that you have. Do this early in the morning before ads or other influence you during the day. In other words, let yourself generate the demand rather than have someone else do it for you. If you feel tempted by an impulse purchase, give yourself 3-5 days before purchasing it. 3) make a budget and stick to it. Buy things that you have predetermined to purchase rather than let offers entice you. Over a long time, I guarantee that you will spend less money overall even if you buy some items at list price.

The best way to deal with this is to adopt value-based spending, which is optimizing your spending for the value it brings to you. For instance, if my laptop breaks, a new laptop becomes a priority for me. So I'd figure out exactly what I want out of a laptop, go find some candidates, and analyse them to pick one or two favourites. After that is when I would start looking to find the best prices. That way, the deals or discounts become an optimization rather than a motivation. The latter is what happens if you go about things the other way around.

Maybe appliances are on sale in July or linens in May, to help find the seasons companies and stores are selling stock to replace with newer items. Our big investments go into buying summer and winter goods at the end or off season. No extras right now, but buying boots a size bigger for the next season for a growing kid still makes sense when you can get good quality for a significant discount. Hopefully this resource is still honest and reputable.

Using Uber eats by itself, you’re paying 20-30% more than going in and buying it yourself with all the fees/tips. Also no one needs lounge access, it is a luxury. You save money by not enjoying it. Only time I see it as a good deal is if you have a long layover and need to buy food/shower/etc. if you’re showing up a couple hours earlier just to enjoy the lounge, it’s not useful.

For the n-th time, the CPI is NOT inflation. It's only an indicator to the market's responce to inflation.

Am I the only one who doesn't feel compelled to buy stuff they didn't need or want 5 minutes ago just because an ad says buy it now?? I can't believe that works on people🤨.

When people say 'if you can't pay your credit card in full' I roll my eyes.. realistically how many people pay their credit card in full every month? The credit card companies prey on people who can't pay at the end of every month. That's how they make their profits. It's like saying drug dealers are anticipating you won't get addicted. Um... yeah ok.

O my! CNBC is promoting Dave Ramsey's method. He preaches pay cash and wait before you buy.

You are only saving if you have to purchase the item and it is on sale/clearanced. Buying something you didnt intend on purchasing because it was half off is still spending money and not saving. My boomer mother couldn't get it.

the best way you can fight against capitalism ... only buy what you need. Literally ... just buy what you need and buy quality products that last a long time. Also only pay cash. if we all did this we would have a massive impact on the corporations that dictate our lives and get some of our power back. plus we do so much for the environment.

I did this. Then I started thinking about why I would buy this before I buy it. Cut down a lot

I'm surprised that subscriptions/memberships like Amazon Prime or Costco, weren't brought up in this video. People will often more in to justify the cost of the subscription/membership.

This may seem small but during the pandemic when Dominos started telling people to buy more pizza in order to save for later i knew something was up and companies were gonna start banking on peoples' fear of their own future. If there was ever a time in this country's history- when companies showed how much they dont give a rats bottom about the citizens just look closely at the last 5 years in America.

I get the only pay for shipping stuff, but it’s often stuff I was already looking at. I think it makes sense for toilet paper sales at Costco.

Gen Z are big trouble. As a Gen X, I get a burst of dopamine when I see MORE money in my bank account. Not less. 😁
