I'm pretty sure I'm a descendant of Ghengis Khan so yes I am. Also I'm the seventh son of his seventh son so tread lightly.

Bought it online . . . I've thought about reaching out to them about it to see if I could get the new price.Return it and buy it again.
If its "week in week out" kind of stuff I think it makes more sense as the savings do become considerable, buying similar groceries but switching around brands and exactly what you buy each week to go along with deals can probably add up to a good $500+ saved per year without much difference in the quality of what your buying.Why not? Anytime I can lower the cost in some way especially for an item that I use regularly it's a win for me. Reducing spending is part of budgeting and building wealth. It keeps me grounded to live within my means and acts as a buffer when I do feel like splurging or spend more on something than I would like to.
Yea I'm a single dude who lives in an apartment in the 'middle class' that's not gonna be around much longer so I throw money around a bit because I'm not going to spend 300k on some shithole house. So money doesn't mean as much to me but I get your viewpoint and the backhanded advice.
No I'm not a troll bro. You can't troll people in this era of the internet. But if you ever have to cross a bridge just keep in mind I might be under it.Ohhhh. It's a troll account. I get it now. Sorry about almost breaking your 4th wall man. I know method acting takes a toll on the psyche.
Cool story for all the other people in here. My grandfather was and is very wealthy. Worked for and owned a few auto dealerships. He was so frugal that he used to collect all the cans and bottles from the trash cans around the dealership and return them for the 5 cent deposit. Used to take me with him with huge trash bags full of cans. Was a coupon lady before it was even a thing. He even sold fucking stamps in his free time. Still lived it up, but scrimped where he could like no other. He used all of the money he saved from his frugality to run a foster home for girls. Lots of former foster girls who call him all the time and are living decent lives because of that man, all because he was a cheap ass mother fucker. He's still kicking and will die with a nice net worth. Starting to get my own decent net worth based on what he taught me, and have been starting to give back because of it. Feels good man.
For some products, the brand is meaningless. Moving an extra inch to buy Brand B instead of Brand A to save a dollar, makes economical sense.Everytime I go to the grocery store and there's even a 30 cent sale on something the shelf is cleared. Last time I went to buy some rice of the brand I usually get and it was all gone and on 'sale' for a dollar. Out of spite I decided to buy the most expensive rice. Why do People do this?
If it’s something you buy often, yes. Because those few extra cents add up over time.For some products, the brand is meaningless. Moving an extra inch to buy Brand B instead of Brand A to save a dollar, makes economical sense.
Sorry but I have a perception level of 8 and believe this is bad advice. I will however buy the most expensive shite when I get pissed off at the grocery store.
There's a huge difference in saving money on items you buy every week and waiting that long in line for anything . . . free or not.For the same reason people will waste two hours standing in line at Starbucks for a “free” coffee.
They like feeling as if they’re getting one over on someone. That’s the psychology behind how sales work. If something goes on sale, people will buy it even if it wasn’t something they ever intended on buying. It isn’t as if they’re going to resell it for a few extra bucks. And even if they did, I doubt it would be worth their time. Or maybe they don’t value their time much.
