　　　　　　　　　 The Good Deal Dilemma(进退两难的局面)

I am a strong believer in bargain shopping. I like to buy high quality Christmas paper every year in January when it goes 75% off. Even though I could save more by buying the superstore Christmas paper at a bargain price，it is worth it to me to get the nice paper and I am happy with my decision．

I bought 10 sets of Christmas china that were marked at 75 percent off plus an additional l0 percent. It was an amazing deal. When I got them home，I found they took half a closet to store. I already have nice china that I can use at Christmas. I decided it wasn’t worth it to me to use that much space for something that I would only use a couple of times In the year. I took them back and now I have more money in my checking account as well as some luxury towels I have wanted for a long time. I would have saved myself the time of taking the china back if I had figured out before hand what I really wanted， but it is sometimes hard to decide at the moment .This experience helped me to realize that you can actually save time and money by passing up bargains.

The main advantage of getting things on sale is that you can afford 1uxuries that you can’t afford at regular price. My Christmas tree is covered with beautiful handmade Santa Claus ornaments(装饰物). I found them at a store about 15 months ago and fell in love with them. I imagined how beautiful they would look on my tree. I wanted to buy some, but they were ＄13.95 each . It didn’t fit into our Christmas budget(预算)，so I gave up the idea. Through the next few months, the price kept dropping until it went down to ＄2.95.When I saw that price，I bought 25 of them right away. I waited another nine months to put them on my tree，but in the end, I got exactly what I wanted for an excellent price. Instead of paying around ＄350，I ended up paying around ＄ 75. Patience paid off.
