I am thinking, watso, that to get the
super super markdowns one might sometimes have to shove and kick any other markdown hunters ( who also appear in the right place at the right time.)
Maybe even wrestle?
This could be entertaining to hard-hearted spectators, and would ‘quinella’ the winner with both the dopamine rush of bargain success AND an endorphin hit from physical activity?
…. An oxytocin trifecta if one truly lusts after the RTC item?
That retail jungle holds delights that are universal according to the psychology boffins in the spoiler here;
spoiler: The Psychology of Bargain Shopping
But RTC hunts are a necessity for some rather than a sport and I do hope, watso, it is sport that inspires your forays rather than any ongoing impact from those child support payments.
My bargain today was three large packs of fresh lamb chops priced as offcuts because they were mismatched in size and I guess the butchers did not want to turn them into sausages or meat pies.
Not the usual chicken necks, and no room in the freezer either so I’m guessing I was pushed into a “
shopping error purchase” by my
“desire to win the commerce race”*sigh*
cheers
