No matter what your financial situation is we all love a good deal. I am always scouring the internet for coupons and deals for everything from just a night out for the family to deals on furniture. I get a high when I discover that I can find what I am looking for and for less then I planned on spending. But here is the thing about saving money, it only works if the purchase was for an item that you had already planned on spending. Sure it is great if you find that deal on the stereo system on sale but if you already had a good stereo system and hadn't planned on replacing it then any money you saved is negligible. But on the other hand if your washing machine has been breaking down on you for a while and you have been desperate to replace it then finding a great deal on one is money saved because it was a purchase that was going to happen regardless if you had found a good deal or not.
It isn't always easy to think in these terms, especially if you are an impulse buyer, but once you get the hang of it you will find that it actually helps improve your deal finding skills. Because when you are able to direct your attention on a specific items that you need your search is more focused and thorough, finding your the best offers.
