I've had this attitude for a long time. I'll buy something on sale if I truly want or need the item but I never let advertising influence my decisions. I know it's part of the marketing strategy to make people think they only have a limited chance to buy a certain item at their "special" discount.

The fact is you save more money by not falling for sales that are usually not much different than the original price. Even when you buy on sale it's still money out of your pocket.
