I'd prefer to pay full price....

Much like thousands of our readers, I receive daily emails from Groupon informing me of unbeatable deals in my area.  More often than not I simply glance at the potential deal and accompanying savings and decide  that I am not interested.  I won't lie, I am often tempted to pull the trigger, but I never really do.  Though, these daily emails have helped me to learn that there are about 600,000 places in NYC willing to sell cupcakes at extremely discounted prices.  But I received a daily Groupon email recently which I decided was an absolute no-go.  Some place just outside the city was slinging 50% off skydiving adventures.  Thanks but no thanks.  I think I would rather pay full price for that one.

So I get to thinking; what else do I not want at discount prices?  Well, another example which is often forced upon the typical New Yorker is sushi.  I DO NOT want discount sushi.  The money you save on your cheapo spicy tuna rolls will 100% be spent on extra rolls of toilet paper after you come down with a violent case of the BTUs (Butt Throw Ups).  It's just not worth it.  

How about condoms?  Full price please.  Have you ever seen a clearance sale for love gloves at the local pharmacy?  Me neither, but if I did I would not be enticed.  One day your are saving 5 bucks on a 12-pack of Trojan ribbed and the next day your spending $20 bucks on penicillin to rid yourself of those pesky little love bumps.  Or more extreme, you just saved $5 to become a daddy.  Yikes!  College is like $250,000 these days.  In the words of Tony Soprano, "fuggedaboutit."
