The dumbest thing I ever purchased was also one of the best deals I ever found. I was clicking through 6pm when I found this Coach bag – the Mercer Woven Leather Craftsman Tote in Black/Fawn – on sale for $39.99 - reduced from $1000 or something stupid like that.
I was so excited about the ridiculous discount that I clicked purchase in a rush of adrenaline or dopamine or whatever neurotransmitter encourages impulse purchases of luxury leather handbags.
I felt really proud of myself for scoring such a huge deal, but then the bag arrived in a huge box, and I realized I’d purchased an albatross for 96% off, which meant that I’d voluntarily purchased an albatross for $39.99 plus tax. I didn’t know what to do with the thing – I guess I should have eBayed it or brought it to a consignment store or something, but instead I just tossed it into a closet and tried to forget about it.
I still don’t know what I’m going to do with the bag, but I seem to be holding onto it. I guess it’s a reminder that sometimes the best deal is not to buy the thing that’s on sale.
