<prompt> Human: just wondering how PF feels about the idea of waiting vs a sale. My current example. Some day in the future I figured Id need to buy a new couch. I recently moved into my own apartment and my old ikea couch isnt very comfortable. We often end up sitting on the floor.Since I just moved, I have some move related debt im paying off and I just spent a lot of money out on other apt related items the last couple of months, so I had no intention of buying a couch for at least a few months. Im saving and paying off debt well btw, 20 of income to themHowever, the other day I idly was looking for something else, and found a great couch at a great sale price. 669 versus 869Additionally I can get 25 off through an employee pricing scheme. So in total thats over 40 off.I dont know, Im tempted, though I really dont want to pay out money right now. I do have the money of course, but Im sure there will be other couches, and I have a feeling that will be the consensus. Still, are there occasions when a pretty great deal is worth the savings instead of saving up for future purchase and hoping you can still get a good deal at that time?  <response>: Furniture is the same as mattresses and cars. No one ever pays the sticker price. That a piece of furniture is on sale means nothing. All furniture is always on sale; Ive never bought anything that wasnt at least 30 off the regular price. You seem to be in a hurry because youre worried the sale will go away; it wont. Couches will always be on sale and there will always be a deal, and your 25 employee discount will always be there also. Id wait.
