Items that require additional purchases

That coupon for a free usually expensive watch can be a real eye catcher when it appears on your favorite search engine, but is it really a good deal? Maybe not if it means you’ll have to buy expensive batteries so that you can use it.

The point here is that before you decide to participate in a freebie offer that will require an added purchase (such as a watch that will need batteries or a bottle of shampoo that will require the purchase of conditioner) stop to consider what your out-of-pocket expenses are going to be. You may just find that you come out better by purchasing your normal brands, and skipping thehigh cost freebies all together.
