Some ideas here:
* A few days before Black Friday, it happens some prices are excessively inflated to give the impression of a bargain. So your bargain could be illusional.
* Several studies show that the more you buy the less you enjoy what you buy cause it becomes a routine and it does not fill a need. This is like when you're thirsty you enjoy your first sip of a glass of water but at some point you're not craving for another one.
* A purchase should always respond to a need, so you have to think about what you might need before buying anything. The society should not decide for you when you have to buy.
* Ecologically this is a catastrophe, a lot of items are struck by what is called planned obsolescence. It means they are made to be used a certain period of time until they no longer work. Thus, the manufacturer knows you're gonna buy again quickly.
