Every family seems to know someone like this.
They will wait weeks for a sale.
They keep items in online carts for months.
They know exactly when seasonal discounts begin.
And they almost never pay full price.

For many people, shopping only during sales is not about being cheap. It is about feeling resourceful, making thoughtful decisions, and gaining a sense of accomplishment from using their resources wisely.
