Are you fond of buying items that is on sale or discounted or you avoid them because you may be thinking that it might have a hidden defect or some kind of negative issue about it? Well, I can say I am fond of buying items that are discounted, the more discount the better, especially that money is not coming to me easily. That's why when there is a sale, promo or discounts, it entice me to take a look. But of course, before I buy, I always make sure that I check the item well. How about you, are you fond of buying discounted items/products? Feel free to share. Good day everyone!

I feel good when I can get items on discounted price. I even do my grocery shopping around what items happen to be on sale. I just feel like I am wasting money when I get items on regular price while I could have bought the same item or its generic product on sale or in lesser price.

Yes, sometimes we tend to buy generic products since it sometimes also as good as those branded ones, and they are cheaper. It really feels good to get a product in discounted price, it feels like we're special. Thank you for your response. Happy myLotting!

I love a good sale! When grocery shopping I try to make good use of the sale items. I am careful not to buy anything if I really don't need it. Some people like to stock up on sale items whether they need them or not, they just love a bargin. If I can't use it it's not a bargin. I don't mind buying mark down produce because you can see just what you're getting. You can even feel of it and smell it so you know what you are getting. Now, mark down meat is altogether different. I have had some bad luck with the meat before so I usually stay away from that. Non food items are different... they don't spoil so I will stock up there. Especially TP and cleaning products. You can never have too much of that. Clothing items are really nice to find on sale. But there too, I won't buy it if i don't need it now. I think everyone loves a sale.

Yes, sale items are really good if we know we can make a good use out of it. Food items are more delicate to buy if they are discounted, better to check them very well. But if we really know how to distinguish good from bad products then buying discounted products is always a gift. Thank you for your response. Happy myLotting!

I am a big fan of getting products at a lesser price and I do like buying discounted prices and I like going to stores that sell discounted things. At meijer's I'll always check out the discounted produce there because I have a juicer and can just make juice out of any of the fairly good looking produce that they have there. There's also this store called the Merchandise Outlet that sells expire stuff and damaged materials that the boxes are damaged but the food is still fine.

Hi! It's nice that you have stores there that regularly give discounts. It's like treasure hunting and you will surely save money specially if we are a smart buyer, knowing what is bad and good products, despite of their prices. Keep it up! Thank you for your response. Happy myLotting!

For sure I am fond of purchasing things that is discounted and it's in great condition! When I encounter something like that, it definitely makes my day. I think not all the sales and clearance items are defected or broken, we just need to keep looking around and be lucky!

I like buying stuff at discounted prices, especially those branded products. Although it's true that some itemsvwere put on sale because of defects or not at par with the brand's standard of quality, there are still a lot of discounted items that are in great condition. Besides, some discounts are actually pulled off the mark up ofbthe product.

Yes, more exciting to buy if the ones on sale or have discounts are our favorite brands or those well-known branded. It really entice us to check and try them. But we still have to check them very well to know if it's still in good condition. Being able to get a a product in lesser price is like a treasure. Thank you for your response. Happy myLotting!

Hi Harold_ks! I don't buy any discounted product anymore because I have observed that the quality is poor. I've bought some air freshener before and it has 1 free item with it. When I got home, the smell only lasted 2 days. It's a waste of money. Most products that are discounted are the items that are not fast moving (Less sold). Just an exception if the product is new to the market and being introduced, I still might buy those. Hehe. Have a nice day!

Hi! I'm sorry to know about your experienced on buying discounted products. Yes we can't avoid getting products like that, but still I'm sure, there are discounted products that are still worth to buy. I think it's better to stick with brands we know than those newly introduced ones. Well, we just need to be careful and be smart buyer. Thank you for your response. Happy myLotting!

I think it is good to get products at less price and discount price, but I think we should also look at the equality of the product. I think it is okay to get the product on discounts without losing the quality and quantity of products.

Yes, if the product is discounted but not in good quality, it is also not a smart catch. We better check them carefully and get those products that really worth to buy. Thank you for your response. Happy myLotting!

I only buy items that are discounted or on sale if I need them. If I don't need the item, it would be a waste of money buying it.

I love shopping on sales.. they offer a lot of discounts but I think there is a few chance you will get a defected item but to make it sure you should always check the product first.. I feel happy whenever I bought things in a discounted prices specially if I got it in a half price.. 3 day sale in malls is really worth going to but be ready for the volume of costumers..

Yes, a lot of people are really waiting for sale and we really should expect a lot of people on it. We should think and choose smartly on what we are going to buy. I also love big discounts, even sometimes up to 70% off. Thank you for your response. Happy myLotting!

Just think once before buying items coming at cheaper price. Why would any one sell the items at lesser price? Just assess, it could be because the item is not of high quality or it's nearing the expiry date. It's always better to think twice before grabbing such deals and mourn over it.

Yes it can sometimes made us curious, but it's really tempting. So before we buy, it is really advisable to always check the item carefully so that we won't regret later on. Thank you for your response. Happy myLotting!
