SALE SALE SALE.......!Hurry while stock last..How genuine is this?

Hello all.....😃

We all know that women love nothing more than a sale or bargain,dont we?😕.....I was thinking that why do we love SALE?

Is it really because we get the item we wanted the most in half the price?.......

My husband keep on saying that be careful in whatever you buy on sale.....what is his meaning?he always says,not all sales are genuine.....😕

So guys,whats your comments,do we really need sales in our lives,why do women fond of sale?Do you think its advisable to buy things on sale?....

Waiting your advisable comments.....Have a nice day!

I like sales as long as I know I am paying a lower price.

Most sales are not really genuine as they are there to clear away excess stock of inventory no one really wants to buy. For high end boutiques, most of the time, the mark up is 100% or more. So a 50% off sale looks like a big thing, when in reality its not.

Sometimes sellers just create the atmosphere of a sale to launch new products. But, the only way one can distinguish a good sale from bad is by knowing one's prices very well.

And the fact is, tricks like "Odd number pricing" can trap a LOT of customers. E.g. if the price $6.99, most people will read the six first and keep thinking of the price as $6 when in reality it is $7.

"There is no such thing as a free lunch," said Milton Friedman (may his soul RIP). I think there is no such thing as a good sale.

yeah but then more often then not you are buying a trouser with one leg a little shorter than the other, or an electronic item with a stamp "Made as USA" instead of "Made in USA" 😉

There is a funny Math equation to explain Men and women's spending habbits:
ROMANCE MATHEMATICS

Smart man + smart woman = romance
Smart man + dumb woman = affair
Dumb man + smart woman = marriage
Dumb man + dumb woman = pregnancy
______________________________

OFFICE ARITHMETIC

Smart boss + smart employee = profit
Smart boss + dumb employee = production
Dumb boss + smart employee = promotion
Dumb boss + dumb employee = overtime
_____________________________

SHOPPING MATH

A man will pay $20 for a $10 item he needs.
A woman will pay $10 for a $20 item that she doesn't need.
_____________________________

GENERAL EQUATIONS & STATISTICS

A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband.
A man never worries about the future until he gets a wife.
A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend.
A successful woman is one who can find such a man.
_____________________________

HAPPINESS

To be happy with a man, you must understand him a lot and love him a little.
To be happy with a woman, you must love her a lot and not try to understand her at all.
_____________________________

LONGEVITY

Married men live longer than single men do, but married men are a lot more willing to die.
______________________________

PROPENSITY TO CHANGE
A woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he doesn't.
A man marries a woman expecting that she won't change, and she does.

Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument.

Raksha, if you read the whole thing,  it does relate to how woman gets carried away with SALE. Sorry if it wasn't upto your level.
