#why cant i just trust that a coupon or sale is gonna net me the best deal and go on from there

[kawaiianimeredhead]

Really trying to get better at buying things on sale and with coupons but I have almost zero idea how much these things cost when compared to other things and I just can not retain this knowledge no matter how hard I try rip

#like i can compare when theyre shelved next to each other in the store but after that nothing #even people commenting about prices of things in convo i cant tell if theyre saying its a good or bad price rip #why cant i just trust that a coupon or sale is gonna net me the best deal and go on from there #liek obvs i know a lot of place raise prices before sales but im talking like every day items where thats harder (? i think) to do that reg #the only prices ive somewhat retained are things i regularly buy by themselves which isnt actually much #like i know water bottles at cons or other Events are $3 and at little craft shows or city festivals theyre like $1 but i dont know much #between and then redbull at gas stations is like 2.75 #and i sorta know the price for the little toys i buy but even then theres so many now and they used to be like $5 so even though i know #theyre more i still get a bit of a surprise sometimes when i blindly grab them #and yes i know this makes me sound snotty and privileged and that i am/have been very privileged to not Have to know this info #dont mind me #tag rambles
