Discount Coupons
We used to receive discount coupons in the letter box. The coupons normally provide a 10% to 20% discount for purchases made for certain shops. It is not bad if you can buy things at a discount.
The problem is that a lot of those coupons are for items that are luxurious or irrelevant. So do we go out and buy those discounted stuff which we do not need? This is just like those festive sales or clearance sales or stock take sales. Do we rush out and buy just because there is a SALES. I estimated that there is always a sales every alternative month. You really never miss out if you need that stuff later.
Well, sometimes people rushed to somewhere to buy just because they have a discount coupon in their hand. They might save a few dollars but eventually ending up paying more dollars for their petrol or transport. They might be better off saving times and buying at their local areas. In doing so, they also support the local business which basically depend on local community support.
Eventually, those discounted coupons belong to the recycle bin.
