The only time buying on sale DOES save you money is if you find stuff that you were going to buy anyway. I’m quite frugal, now that I have all the gadgets I want, but of course I still need to buy food.

As I walk up and down the aisles at the grocery store I keep an eye out for sale items and BOGOFs (Buy One Get One Free), and if its something I was going to buy, or will use in the near future, I buy LOTS of it! But I’m careful not to be tempted into buying two of something I wanted ZERO of in the first place Recently I stocked up on breakfast cereal, cous-cous, spaghetti and spaghetti sauce, which is a saving I *know* I’ll benefit from.

[...] I guess I didn’t know how old Ben was but he’s got a kid and this week’s tip from him is about how to save money shopping by playing shopping cart slolam. John at QueerCents had a few suggestions for what you can do to entertain yourself and not spend money doing it. Jeff Strain of PFAdvice has a great little nugget about why trading in your stuff is a bad deal and Bargain Quest came in with a great post on how to maximize your gift cards. Lastly, something which I learned myself just recently, David writes about how buying things on sale doesn’t always save you money. [...]

Advertisers have drilled this into our heads since we were children. That to save money, you have to buy stuff on sale. When like the article says, to really save, means not spending at all!
