Sometimes I like to take walks on the weekends. I live in a very commercial area, so these walks frequently involve walking into stores. Usually this is fine because I am a picky shopper, but this weekend Ann Taylor Loft was having a sale. The evil marketing geniuses had everything 30% off, then for every $50 you spend, you get a $25 discount on your next purchase. I ended up spending $100 and getting two discount cards. I am not upset about buying the clothes because I need them for work and I lost a bit of weight and my older clothes aren't fitting so well. What I am upset about is that the two discounts are burning a hole in my purse. Maybe I should throw them away? I do need another pair of work pants...

Maybe you could save the gift card to give to a friend or family member at Christmas or on a birthday? Or another strategy would be if you decide to shop again, deliberately shop the clearance and sale racks.
