For example, Black Friday is coming up and she is already plannign her assault on Retailers and all of thier doorbusting specials. I keep telling her there is no need to buy something just because it is a good deal but she doesn't care because they are such great deals. I am also totally against buying DVD's. - Neko My GF has this exact problem.

My obvious comeback was that I have enough sweaters for the winter. The persons response was that of a usual sale trap victim, “so what? They are on sale.” This is one piece of advice that my friends will never ever accept and many will just brush it off as me being cheap. What can I say? Maybe I am in the wrong by only having 6 sweaters when I should really have 16 sweaters...

That's even worse than a coupon. Not only does buy something non-essential... but she buys TWO of them. Oh man, a woman I know ALWAYS goes for the buy-one-get-one-free.

A select shop that I've stepped into a few times but have never purchased because of the ridiculous prices is having a going out of business sale. It turns out that even though they claim "everything is 50-80% off," some bloggers have written about how the store deliberately fixed the price-tags so that even after 50-80% off, the consumer was actually paying the original price. It also makes me think of how things in general are traps, dvds on "sale" are not that cheap considering how expensive they are ($100 box sets?!) in the first place...

Generating a list is one of the best money-saving tactics there is. From grocery shopping to a "mall" budget, you should plan what you are planning on spending as soon as possible. I pride myself on knowing where my money is going to end up months ahead of time. I like to know how much I've allotted for groceries and such. Nice article.
