Does this sound familiar?
You go in to the store to buy a new pair of jeans but hold up, it's buy one get another 50% off! You just "saved" $20,
That's enough to buy that sweet top you saw on the way here.
When you get to the counter, turns out that top was actually half price and you didn't notice! That's another $10 "saved", just enough for your favorite caramel latte.
You've "saved" so much today.
Actually instead of the original plan of spending $40 on jeans, you've spent $80, the exact opposite of saving.
It's easy to get caught up in the moment with all the shop signage shoving "sale" and "save" in your face at every opportunity but unless you are transferring those unexpected discounts to your savings account; it's not saving.
Now if you'll excuse me I need to go hide some receipts from my wife...
