This seems especially true at grocery stores, where I also notice that prices go up and down on items depending on when they have coupons available...

Anything less than that and I'm not terribly interested. I think 50 percent off should be the starting point. Anything less than that and I’m not terribly interested.

Percents off attract my attention, but I don't buy for a discount alone.

PS. when do we get to see a picture? xoxo For me it’s the final price that gets me-regardless of the percent markdown, if the take home is too much, I don’t commit.

I really look for the 50% off deals and I was also like this before the recession. I think maybe it was all the Mervyns shopping for my kids. It was the norm for them to have 40-60% off. On a side note, when are we going to get a pic of your marvelous pink pumps?! I’m the same way. I really look for the 50% off deals and I was also like this before the recession.

I absolutely loved reading your story, though, and I can't guarantee I wouldn't succumb to love at first site.
