I don't like flyers! Not to be confused with the Broadstreet bullies, Philadelphia Flyers (great team), but the paper ones that overfill the mailbox. They create a mess, extra trash recycling and deceive one into buying items that they do not need while instilling a sense of bargain. I do LOVE a bargain though! Who doesn't?
Flyers are a great tool for some people; however, I notice it's the opposite for most others. In a sense, a flyer is just like a commercial, but instead of being broadcasted on television, it gets delivered to your door in paper form. If a commercial came on and advertised a beer that made you more attractive to the opposite sex (or same sex), more suave and the life of the party, would you run out a buy it right away? Probably not. If a flyer came to your door, and advertised that same beer for $2.00 off, that's a great deal right? some people would buy the beer because they feel like they are saving money by purchasing the same. I don't know what alcohol prices are in other places, but in Canada, a beer loving nation, it is taxed to death. A two-four (case of 24 beer) of a popular brand will range between $35.00-$50.00. To save that $2.00 advertised, it is really costing a whopping $33.00 to $48.00.
I truly believe you should always look for a deal, but only when you are making the purchase no matter what. Once you find a good deal, save the difference. It adds up.
