I keep peptide quotes in a three-column note: sticker price, shipping, and a blunt “would I buy this if it weren’t on sale?” column. Two listings for a matching amount looked wildly different at first.
One was $18 cheaper on the sticker, but then shipping added $12 and the cheaper one only made sense if I bought a second unit to hit a minimum. My dorm fridge has room for one salsa jar and approximately zero stockpile, so the bargain lost.
The note also has a 24-hour wait rule; if I still care tomorrow, it stays in the sheet. It’s boring, but it keeps me from paying for “savings” with freezer space and regret.
Does anyone else have a column that regularly talks them out of a fake bargain?
