They know that if you focus on what you re spending, you may have second thoughts. But remember that every dollar you spend is a dollar you re not saving. That s the only real way to obey such a sign. There, I m done venting. Let s move on.
Retailers like to create a sense of urgency.
They know that the moment you walk out of the store or click out of their Web site, they lose their best chance of making a sale. True enough, but for all you know they ll extend the sale, or honor the sales price even when it s over. Or maybe they have a truckload of the stuff parked out back, or can order more from the manufacturer or another store. It seems to me that these expressions apply to things like faith, family, relationships. I ve been buying stuff for a few decades, and I ve yet to find something that could be bought with money that was worthy of these terms.
