As the holidays approach, that also means — you guessed it — sales. Sales galore! You know me. I love a sale! BUT. I do have rules.

I would nev ev buy anything on sale JUST because it’s on sale. If it’s not something I was already considering or something I would gleefully buy full price, it’s out.

I am someone who loves to shop designer. And truthfully loves to shop in general. But I *rarely* pay full price for anything, designer or not.

I love a deal. I believe in a deal. And it’s, like, free money when you save (girl math). But I am not fully detached from reality and still believe in delayed gratification and, y’know, contributing to my Roth IRA and such, instead of buying every new It-bag on the market — on sale or otherwise.
