Yeah, I totally get that. I looked through all the black friday ads and because there was nothing I wanted I was thinking, what's the big deal? But I guess for someone who was looking for something in particular then that would be awesome. Well, I take that back, my husband wanted the $4 coffee maker at Walmart to take to work, but I wasn't getting up at 4am to get it. They still had a huge end cap of them a week later so he got one after all.
I get the nicer items epiphany too. We used the nastiest flaking rusting teflon pans that we had gotten for our wedding and refused to buy new until we could afford a pan sat that would last a life time. A few years later we got our tax return and bought a set of all clad pans.
We did the same with the stove and washer/dryer, although I highly regret these purchases and are praying that stupid flat top electric stove breaks down so I can have a cheap gas stove.
Then there's the front loader washer that refuses to get my clothes and diapers clean. GRRRRRR! It's so hard to know what that long lasting purchase is going to be.
Might I add that our bathroom has been sitting unfinished without a sink or nice flooring for over a year because I'm saving up for an old fashioned bathtub. I totally get it.
