Since I don't ask this critical question, I have a closet full of clothes/shoes purchased on sale that I don't really wear or have never touched. The worst buyer's remorse for me isn't when the day after my purchase (or even a week after), I realize that the final sale item doesn't work for me; it's when a year later, I realize that I've never touch that regular sale item and never intend to do so (but it's too later to return it). That's when I really feel like an idiot for making that purchase. I could have spent that money on something I really did like and would wear/use. I only bought that item because it was on sale.
Nowadays, I'm trying to be better when it comes to sales. I don't like to think of myself as an idiot. It's hard trying to be better because it seems like everything is on sale. But I am better at asking myself the critical question before I head to the the checkout counter with a sale item. Maybe that's why I post sale picks on this blog. It helps me to stop and think. Plus, I'm running out of closet/storage space...
