I may just have a problem...

I was looking through the petco sales paper just now and on the back page I saw parakeets advertised for ONLY $12.00! And my first thought was "crap, that's cheap, I may need to get some..."

It was then that I realized that I was talking about PARAKEETS. LIVE BIRDS. Do I want birds? No. Do I have any desire to house them? Absolutely not. But I was still so shaken by their "rock bottom price" that I, for a fleeting second, I considered stocking up...

It was then that I had a realization, I May Just Have a Problem

Wonder if you can use the 5/25 coupon on them?

um...yeah - I may have that problem too. I have to discipline myself at the clearance rack. Who can pass up a shirt that is marked 1.49 from $49 (so what if the design echos back to a cross between Laura Ingalls and Cyndi Lauper! WHat if I need it someday - for what, I cannot imagine!).
