I have a friend who calls herself "bargain Betty," and she is. She can sniff out a 75%-off sale from half a mile away. She prides herself on never paying full price. She is cute and petite and has about 150 tops in her closet all of which she found on sale.
But here's the thing that I don't get. I buy stuff on sale too, but more importantly, I don't buy stuff just because it's on sale. I have about 20 tops in my closet. Not a lot, but sufficient unto my needs. If I see a $30 sweater at the store marked down to $5, I don't see it as a savings of $25. I see it as spending $5. Unnecessarily.
So my friend has a lot of clothes and I don't. But to my thinking, I'm the one who's more thrifty.
