People today are rushed, buy on impulse, and consequently succumb to advertizing more often than they themselves would like to admit.
One thing I learned as a preteen from my mother was "If you see something in the store that you want, walk away, go home, and if you still want it next time you go to the store, then get it." Most of the time you'll find that you realize you don't really need it or want it. Impulse buying is what advertizing relies on. If you PLAN buy, you won't succumb as much.

that's great advice. I do that to and I do something along those lines as well...for *any* large purchase
If it's over $100 there is a 24 hour cooling off period before buying or signing on the dotted line.
