You know, everybody loves a bargain for about three and
a half hours. Anyway. There's a new survey out on
everyday expenses found the people actually get a buzz when
they score a deal. The average purchase glow lasts about
two hundred and sixteen minutes. About one in three people
feel buzz longer than that, especially if the bargain is

number one. People don't care if they're cheap of phones
out there. They want to shell out top dollar for
the best appliance were second most worth it, followed by
computers and laptops, personal care items, TVs, laundry materials, coffee, clothing, shoes,
and skincare. What is your thing that you think it's
