If I get an urge, I usually force myself to ponder for a while. Pro's / Con's and do I really need it (well that answer is usually always NO, but I talk myself into it being yes LOL)Once I feel that I really want (whatever it is) then I begin my search for a deal on whatever I am wanting.
On the other side, sometimes I stumble upon a "deal" that I can't pass up. Something that I may not need, but know I'd probably like --- but if I don't, I can unload it for as much or more than I paid and quickly. Lately, that seems to be the route I end up going...searching for deals and picking some of them up. I hate paying full price for stuff, and really never do. I'll wait till I can find the deal I'm happy with. I guess I'm cheap
