See this? Do I need it? No. Was it a spur of the moment purchase? Yes. Did I succumb to their stinking marketing technique? Absolutely.
Here’s the deal. I don’t need to buy much of anything (other than clothes, food, etc.) and walking into a store almost always ensures that I will walk out having spent more money than I wanted to spend. Always.
I have a house filled with things I don’t need. I wish someone would just take that stuff away and give it a happy home.
Most items I buy, I get from Amazon because I don’t have to deal with some smart marketing department tugging on my weak and feeble heart strings. I know what I want or need, I put it in my cart, I sit on it for a couple of days and if I still want it, I place the order and it shows up.
Because I can’t even walk into a convenience store without getting trapped. Fortunately they don’t sell high ticket items or I’d be sunk. Truthfully, the only reason I was in there was to use their bathroom, but I’m unable to do that without buying at least something. I had that something in my hand and was headed for the register, safe at only spending a few dollars.
Bet me!
I’m hopeless.
