MAMAMIA PODCASTS
About this episode

Why are we wired to be so attracted to sales? Buy one get one free, 50% off, clearance! Whatever the sale, we, as humans, flock to them! 

How can we curb that hit of dopamine we get when we land a great discount or sale. 

In this episode of The Quicky, we speak to the experts to find out why sometimes we can't resist that sale, even when we know we need to conserve our cash flow.
