[…] the lowest price you sell a product for becomes it’s new value in consumers’ minds.

Sad but true. There are so many plugins I haven’t bought, because ten years ago in a once-in-a-lifetime sale they were sold at a deep discount and I am now physically unable to pay any more for them. That is also why I keep a wishlist with historically lowest prices, to make sure I don’t pay any more than someone else did. I’m a jealous consumer.

I have to admit (except to my significant other) that I’ve done that. Buying something cheap twice on different occasions and feeling like a total idiot after. Which is why I began tracking what I owned, where, when and how much in a spreadsheet (+ having a wishlist of things to look out for when the price is right). Using the search function in the email helps too.

Hey, we’re the same! That spreadsheet is both a great big help and a source of shame for me. I still search through my emails for any receipts before making a purchase, because sometimes my system isn’t perfect (read: I’m lazy).

Remember to calculate the total money spent for that little extra sting!
