It always amazes me when I hear
folks raving about how much money they saved by buying this or that on
sale. Excuse me, but when people spend their hard-earned money, how in
the world do they figure they saved it? Does it really matter if they
bought the items on sale or paid full price? Isn’t the result the same?
Meaning, now they have less money than they had to begin with.
If I had a hundred dollars and saved some more money,
wouldn’t I now have more than a hundred? Conversely, if I spend some of
that money, no matter how good the deal, wouldn’t I now have less? Logic
would tell any rational person that spending money is not exactly the
same as saving it. Hence, a sale is just a means to sell the gullible a
bill of goods while lightening their purses and convincing them that
they actually saved money. If only I could get my wife to understand
this, I’d save so much dough; they’d call me the bread man!
