Seeing Red

[Luxman]

Red is an attractive color even though my favorite color is blue.
Red lipstick is sexy, because we have been conditioned to see it as sexy.
I usually don't buy stuff on sale, because a few time I've seen stuff on sale with higher prices than the regular price a week before.
Just remember to be cautious when you see red.

Normally I don't buy into all these random studies and whatnot, but I actually agree with this.

My stepdad is exactly like that. Usually it was my mom who did the grocery shopping, getting necessities and very few snacks. When my stepdad came with for grocery shopping, he'd see a chip sale that's like "Buy 1 Get 1 Free" or 50% off, etc. and be like, "Oh my god, get one free?" Stuffing a few in the cart. We'd end up pushing two completely full carts through the store because of sales.

My boyfriend is the same way with sales. If there's a deal on chicken, hot dogs, or cheese, he'll stock up on like 5 times the amount than we actually need.

Sometimes the deals are very good and it's nice to get stuff in bulk so you don't have to make another trip for said items for a while, but in another sense it's like you're losing money rather than saving, because if that stuff wasn't on sale, you wouldn't have bought those particular items in the first place. Oh look, JCPenny is having a store wide sale! Let's go shopping! But... we weren't gonna go shopping in the first place, so we're not saving, we're spending.

I just rind all prices to the highest whole dollar. It is a strategy that saves me money and helped me gain enough to go on a European holiday.

Everything should be rounded to the nearest dollar, so we can get rid of all coins under $1.
It would make things run smoother, and the treasury could save money by not making all those coins.
I can't remember the last time I bought something under $1.
In the past year, pennies have been discontinued by most vendors here, the price is rounded to the nearest 5 or 10, but the receipt still has the accurate price.
