Scenario

When couples can't resist sales and discount marketing together

My wife and I keep falling into the same trap where we'll see a 'limited time offer' or flash sale and one of us will push to buy something we don't really need because it feels like we're saving money, and then we feel stupid about it later but we keep doing it anyway.

More people experience this than they realize.
