Last weekend I was at this show and they were giving away poles that went in the back of your car to hang clothes on...people were want to take several...seriously how many people do you ever see with one of those in their car?!?!?!?But they were FREE! I think part of it is just a way to feel like you've gotten your money's worth. <br /><br /><br />Way to go on resisting!Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15944445755726396280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5985664838954149514.post-67877204301998847132010-11-15T05:11:57.370-07:002010-11-15T05:11:57.370-07:00This is such a strong issue with me I wrote a post...This is such a strong issue with me I wrote a post talking about it a while back. I've had to virtually eliminate trips to Sam's because I cannot resist the Demon Sample Pusher's (it's FREE food). I'm having to explore whether this is more about the food or more about money. Like you, I have the means to buy the good stuff so why does the idea of "free" draw us in?Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09408463925646609263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5985664838954149514.post-67923105688114045062010-11-15T01:37:34.727-07:002010-11-15T01:37:34.727-07:00I'm totally the same when it comes to free stu...I'm totally the same when it comes to free stuff - especially during work morning teas. There was a day a couple of weeks back when I found myself thinking "OMG, I need to get some of that chocolate caramel slice now or I'll miss out!" - totally ignoring the fact that, right at that moment, I didn't actually *want* any. Scarcity mentality maybe?<br /><br />I second Kenz's comment - congratulations on resisting the siren call - awesome work :-)Starfirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12878376361854926747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5985664838954149514.post-8322433252792422872010-11-14T22:23:29.148-07:002010-11-14T22:23:29.148-07:00I think it might just be a good excuse. Perhaps a...I think it might just be a good excuse. Perhaps are brains have spent so much time searching for justification that it's a natural reaction. I really have no idea...but it makes sense in my head. ;) <br /><br />Cheers to you for resisting things you didn't really want. That's a big win!Kenliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09514481580609757683noreply@blogger.com
