I consider myself reasonably frugal and thoughtful about money, but I definitely fell into one of these traps buying a suit for the first time. I went in with a specific sale in mind, they told me they had a two-for-one deal going so I might as well try on two colors of suits. But then it turned out the second suit was over double the price of the advertised sale price that I came in for (the first suit would have qualified) and two-for-one would of course be the more expensive of the two prices. But I had already picked it out, etc. and it was after all really just "half" the price since I was getting two suits and you know maybe I did need both colors. I have worn one of them once and the other never in the three or four years since then. Though it is nice to know I won't have to panic if there's a sudden funeral I have to attend, say.
