The Ahorralorian: Don’t Buy Something Just Because It’s On Sale

Mira, the Mandalorian’s quest 🪐and your quest for a “steal,” they are not the same. Just because you’re buying something at a discount, doesn’t mean you aren’t still spending your hard earned cash. 👀Focusing solely on how much you saved, “discounts” the amount you paid.💵💵💵

Like, OMG you found a Prada bag 👜 marked down to $300!!! You can’t pass that up! Si, se puede! Because if you buy it, you just spent $300 on a bag you only *think* you need, simply because it’s on sale.👀

Offers like this trigger a false impulse to spend. 🧘🏽‍Respira profundo and think about what you’re spending before clicking “buy.” 🤳🏾

We’re not saying don’t look for discounts. Your vacuum broke? 💥Give those dust bunnies time to reproduce while you search for a good sale.
