Sales are everywhere. Sale on shoes, bags, shirts, gadgets and everything. Malls and shops use this technique to attract buyers, but you know what? Do you think you've been discounted a higher price than ordinary? No. Instead of saving 20%, you spend 80% on things you dont really need. This is not economical and most of us are easily lured to it. This is what i hate about people. When there's useless trending items on sale, they buy immediately even on credit cards but if bitcoin drops, they talk negative about it. Normal mindset wants to get temporary attention. Not permanent comfort.
Discounts are greatly overvalued. I agree with you that many people, because they do not have high incomes and are not able to afford anything at any time, fall into a kind of discount madness, buying up everything they dont need.
Not really any dscount on the prices,they just create big stickers and says discounts on most of the occasions and when something is real it happened due to the fall of the raw material of that product so the decrease the prices temporarily.
