Hey you're the one who made a thread because you're jealous of all the deals other people are getting.

I mean seriously, if it's on sale it's either defective in some way or old and degrading as a result of age. That beef? Yeah, it's either been sitting there too long or is chewier than your grandpa's old leather shoes. That half-priced "Smart TV"? Guess what, it doesn't support DLNA. Whoops, too bad you didn't notice til you got it home. Congrats on buying second-rate junk your whole life, sucker.

Actually OP, I worked in the meat department at a grocery store and old beef is best beef. The muscle tissue in beef is what makes it hard to chew when it's fresh, but it breaks down over time, making the beef become more and more tender and flavorful. This is why expensive steakhouses advertize aged steaks. Aged in this case means they keep their steaks in the fridge for a looong rear end time before cooking them.

All those people at the grocery store buying blood red cuts of fresh beef? All are morons that are going to cook something that will taste/feel like cardboard. Best beef is the one on sale.

Don't buy old chicken/pork tho. For those two the fresher the better.

I was gonna buy a video game that Amazon has on sale, but I'm gonna wait for it to go back to normal price so I don't get a junk version. Thanks for the advice op!

I want to branch out and I'm going to stick with it.
I thought this thread was going to be about how many things advertised as being on sale are actually just at regular price.

For example, I sell furniture. All furniture at every store is "on sale" every day. They will tell you a bogus MSRP and it'll be on sale off of that. The price is never MSRP. Ever.

They sometimes do have actual sales, but the price is an additional 5-10% further off of the 30-50% off MSRP it usually is.

Always ask for an additional discount because you can usually get it. But keep in mind that you're probably going to need to spend at the very least $1,000 if you want free delivery.

litttle tip:

if the price ends in .98 it is on sale
if the price ends in .97 it is a discontinued item
if the price ends in .96 it is discontinued gay pornography (best value)

this guide only applies to the gay pornography store

Costco pizza is actually pretty good and only costs like 10$ for an 18 inch supreme. I've only gotten it once though because I couldn't eat it all.

You know how it be.

Take and bake pizzas are generally way better than pretty much any delivery pizza chain (admittedly not a high bar to pass) and also a way better deal. It was a staple in our family treats when I was growing up in a poor household.
