Another trick that works on a few diaper distributors and other websites. Leave something in your cart for a few hours, but make sure the website has your email address to lure you back in with some% off for the sale.Svenmaok said:
Ahh yes a favorite trick of mine , at worst you’ll get free shipping or some small discount . At best you’ll get a smoking hot deal . Retailers are all to familiar with billions of dollars of unpurchased stuff in “carts” everywhere . Depending on how the retailer sales overall are going influences what they try to lure you back with or to get you to pull the trigger on something . Basically a bad sales year for them is good for us because they will be more generous in leaving some profit behind . Another of my favorite tricks is looking at everything ( stuff your not planning to purchase at all) the reason is stores are sometimes sloppy or there IT department sucks . Last month I found a brand new version of a down winter parka that they just came out with marked down as clearance so everybody I know ( I told friends about the error ) bought a down parka they didn’t need or want because a $379 parka for $17.99 you just got to buy , I actually bought 3 one for me and two I took to the park downtown and gave away to people who maybe down on there luck or unhoused and really need something substantial to keep warm winter is here (we have about 7-8” snow and it’s going to continue thru Wensday ) I don’t have much but I do share when I can . God does something extra good for me , I pay it forward to someone else . The old saying “it’s all on the wheel” comes to mind “reap what you sow “ . I had a rough early childhood and had many strangers be kind to me ,my greatest gift was being adopted as a teen , it changed everything .Bearcatz said:
The 25% off sale was 24th through 27th. I bought some Abri-Form Comfort level 4 diapers, too - but only 2 cases.Bearcatz said:
I usually only buy 1 case, but because of the sale, my wife said I should go ahead and get 2, since I typically wear 1 Abri-Form nightly. We're trying to not overwhelm our storage capacity and to be financially prudent, since 'tis the $ea$on.littledinogoesrawr said:

Because I have urinary incontinence, I have to wear *something* or the bed will become very unpleasant! She knows I'm trying to be practical about costs while still trying to sort out which products to use for awake times and which products to use for sleep times.littledinogoesrawr said:
There's a reason the phrase "retail therapy" exists! The hard part is not to let it create real disaster. This time of year, the sales everywhere can be very tempting, for all kinds of merchandise. One big purchase binge on sale can actually save some cost in the long run, if it's for things you'd have bought anyway.dogboy said:
I'm such a sucker for sales. I get serious FOMO and feel like I have to buy because the item may never be available again at that price.AttilaThePun said:
I find that using the question "is the savings *really* that significant" helps me a lot. It helps me if I stop to think what the offered percentage off really amounts to.Sealander said:
Yeah, it's the same way about buying in bulk, which tempts me a lot at the supermarket, but often just leads to faster, greater consumption and doesn't really save money.AttilaThePun said:
