Do you ever give in to this marketing ploy?

I only buy sale items, its cheaper and you always have plenty on hand.Unless of course you would never use that much.

If it's "limit 6," then I don't necessarily buy 6. But, if it's Buy 2/Get 2 Free, then I'll buy 2 (get 4) . I mean, why buy 1 and only get 1 when you can buy 2 and get 4. It's just so I can max out the freebies. If the sale is 3/$10 or $4.50 each, then I'll buy 3 to get the cheaper per piece price. But, if it's just a "limit" thing, I don't try to reach the limit.

Most grocery stores rotate the same sales over and over on a 6 week schedule. So, what is on sale now will be on sale again in 6 weeks.

You can freeze cheese, so don't worry that you've got to have mac and cheese and cheese toast every day for the next 2 months.

I've never had that problem. You just have to think about what your needs are and not what the store is offering- especially if it's a food item that's perishable. I mean, if they said they're having a sale on frozen turkeys and you don't have a large freezer would you buy 6 of them if that was the limit? Common sense tells you that you don't need 6 frozen turkeys unless you're having a party or other feast where a lot of people will be eating those turkeys. It only makes sense if it's an item that you can keep for months such as cake mixes or other dry goods. The same goes for clothing or shoes- would you buy six pairs of shoes if that's the limit the store offers? Of course not- unless your one of those women who keeps 100 pairs of shoes of all colors and style around just for those "special occasions" That's what the stores are hoping for, but you don't have to fall for it.

Have a pizza party, and eat before you go shopping next time.
