Bad Timing

As I mentioned a few days ago, I made a big order of CPAP supplies. So of course just after it arrived, the vendor announced a big sale with savings of up to 65%. Even though I used my HSA money, so I was no additional cash our of pocket, I wouldn't have minded saving money on it, as that would be that much more available for other medical expenses.

Happens to me regularly. It sometimes feels like gambling. I'd like to see vendors give regular long-time customers a heads-up, but that would no doubt go against the wishes of bean counters who wish to rake in every last penny. As a matter of fact, I'm awaiting a sale at my particular vendor right now...and I've been waiting for several weeks.

"Gambling" is exactly right. It's not a good way to live, or to do business.
