LPT: It’s not a discount if you otherwise wouldn’t have bought it.
LPT: It's not a discount if you otherwise wouldn't have bought it. I know it's fairly obvious but I'd sometimes fall for this little fallacy, and think "Wow I'm saving so much money!" In truth, I wasn't saving shit. I was buying unnecessary things that I wouldn't have thought to buy if they hadn't come up. Now before I buy I think to myself, is this something I would have reasonably bought within the next year...
