A well known human trait. Going for the wants ahead of their needs. ''I want it all trait!'' Thanks for sharing this wise piece.

Retail sales usually take a seasonal slump in January and February. Now is a good time for bargain hunting. Good write as usual, Anne Lise.

Yes, when things are half off, we tend to want to buy them even though they are not necessary for us. For me, it has to get to about 75% and then I'm IN!!! I enjoyed your observation!
