Quotes to ponder:

"Being willing to wait until certain times of year to buy things can be helpful for those purchases that aren’t true 'must haves.'"

"Fitness equipment is a great idea at the beginning of the year because many stores are running sales."

"Chocolate is a great price this time of year especially after Valentine's Day is over with all the sales to sell the leftover Valentine’s goodies."
