I have watched all the videos and dvds, I have read all the books on the subject and I nowhere in all the information that I have accumulated have I heard that Santa made his list checked it twice, bought everything for Christmas and then repurchased it 3 more times.....I think I got it all wrong. I had finished almost all my kids Christmas shopping about 3 weeks ago. I was pretty much done.
But then Black Friday and Cyber Monday came and every started going down. I know you think I have wasted more time by repurchasing the items at the lower price but when you have 4-5 items at a 5-25 savings, I feel it is worth it. Then, the retailers started getting desperate and started including special bundles certain of the really popular toys and sweetened the price too, well then you have to repurchase to get the extras since they are now freebies. There is such a strategy to my Christmas shopping that it is not logical to the average person. You need to delve deep into the mind of the wife of Mr. Thrifty Mc Thrift. Every purchase needs to be a bargain beyond compare. So you purchase a lot of toys at a high price, he's frustrated, right...Then you start to bring the price down a little by repurchasing...He still thinks you bought to much but at least the price is better....You repurchase the third time and then the price is really good and they got bonus stuff, he's impressed.....See........Method to my madness? Just madness? You decided.
