Thanksgiving Vacation.
Mostly spent time at home relaxing. Original plan was to go for shopping on early morning. However due to stomach ache, had to stay in. Managed to visit a couple of electronics shops on Black Friday with mild stomach pain. Such was the power of discounts offers of Black Friday :) As asked by Dan Ariely, why is it difficult to resist temptation for free (discount) stuffs? Why do cheapest stuffs sale so fast although the next expensive stuff is only a few dollars more?
Visited software section in different stores. I found that many software were FREE after mail-in rebate. For example, one could buy AVG anti-virus s/w (valid for 2ys) for $60 and they would get cash rebate within 8 weeks. I am wondering why people were not buying? Do we value $60 and its depreciation so much that we hesitate to keep it in someone else's pocket for two months?
