Glad you tacked a new term onto an old idea. “Buy more to save more” was a store slogan a while ago. As new consumers enter the space there are just shinier ways to package the trick.
There is one store near me that does that. A box of cereal for example is on sale for 2.50. Then says must buy 6 boxes. I am one person I don't need six boxes of cereal
Are you saying that the cereal will go bad before you get to it? I'm single When my local supermarket has my cereal half off if I buy four boxes, I'm buying those four boxes. I've just saved money on something I'm going to buy anyway. Don't have room in the pantry, store under your bed.
@@beejls Not always but often I'm just not going to use four boxes of cheerios even in a few months With some stuff such as canned goods it may be worth it but other stuff no.
Cereal is a waste of calories, imo. And I grew up on Cheerios. I'd rather buy a box of oatmeal. It's heartier, it's less processed, and, if you do it right, it tastes better.
I learned to say 'no' to spending more when I was a single mother. I made sure my daughter had what she needed but worked around spaving to be able to provide. For instance, I got a part time job at Blockbuster's and got 5 free rentals each week. But, other than paper towels, toilet paper and Kleenex, I don't buy bulk.
But I get it. I have been broke enough to buy 4 Advil for $1.39 instead of buying 50 generic ibuprofen for $1.99 because I just didn't have the extra $.60. And I probably had to shove my hand down in the dark crevices of my car to find what I did have....
Actually the extra spending is what helps drive the economy. Eating out instead of cooking for example, supports the restaurant industry, and millions of jobs.
@@gemmeldrakes2758 Yes, because that is what our economy has evolved to. We don't NEED to be a conspicuous consumer system. But the corporations that be have gotten so fat off of "sell sell sell," that we can't even fix our TVs any more. They make more money selling a new one, and so we trash perfectly good merchandise. Gotta have the next iPhone, and Microsoft and Apple have planned obsolescence as their business model. They have to make billions instead of just hundreds of millions. It's not sustainable, and we know this deep down...but we keep racing to the cliff's edge.
If I'm going to use the product anyway and it's not going to go bad before I get around to using it, it makes sense to stock up, if I have the room. I'm not addicted to shopping, thankfully.
Oh PUHLEEZ, lol. Just a new word for when Women,,my own beloved especially,,who has said "But It Was On Sale!".😅😅 FYI,,Weve been married,,yes happily for 66 yrs. But shes been "Spaving" longer than this word was invented.😅😅😅😅
I always thought _Spaving_ was _Speed Paving_ - A sport practiced by builders all across the UK on Friday afternoons to see who can finish a job and get down the pub first! 🏁🍺💨😋 On a darker note: _Spaving_ (As this vid presents it) is also a major driver of hoarding... 📦📈⚠
My favorite is when buying a 2-pack is more expensive than buying 2 individual packs. This is now the norm everywhere. They are counting on innumeracy.
The only thing "new" is the higher numbers to buy to get something free or discounted. Same with coupons. It is now customary to be required to purchase 2 or 3 of a product to save.
You should only spave on items you really really need: Emergency food items (water&cans/powders) School/office supplies Batteries & bulbs Toilet paper Detergent/bleach ....these are items that most households buy and when you buy in bulk, the cost is much lower. And then you can just make a huge order a few times in the year. But for the everyday, make a shopping list and stick to it, if you can do that then you're ahead of the game. Plus coupon clipping is VERY worth it! Trying to spave in the everyday is a sure way to buy things you don't need. And speaking of buying things that one doesn't need, i would love some research on the correlation of making a list to go to the supermarket and obesity.
Walmart ran their prices waaay up over price-inflation. Now they price everything as buy two for a lower price each. But even then the item price isn’t even close to where it should be.
This is how I do it. Things I know I would have bought before, I pass on now. Why buy it just to donate later (my place is sparse, but that's the way I need it to be). Whenever I do decide to buy something, I'll start adding up prices on all the un-bought things I didn't buy that day, week. When the totals add up to the price of the thing I did buy, the thing I bought is free! And not only do I keep my space free of stuff, I'm saving money too! Whatever, I'm bad at math anyway😉.
It is actually saving if you are buying food...I do it and I'm glad I did. I knew food prices were going to go through the roof, stocking up has definitely paid off.
When my local supermarket has my favorite cereal on sale for half off if I buy four boxes, I'm buying 4 boxes. I save 50% on something I will need to buy anyway.
The only time I do this is when buying essentials. Wait for the best price and buy in bulk.Anything that has a long shelf life and you will truly use it.🤔
I do it, although I didn't know it was a fad. And I only buy extras of things I actually use, and only if the price is right. I don't pad my online order to get shipping free unless I can buy a $10 item to get $10 off shipping. That way, I pay the same but get more for it.
I only started doing this recently on Amazon, I have Amazon prime but if I spend either 25 or 35 dollars then some or all of my items get same day shipping from 5pm-10pm so I do it for the convenience, I buy things I don’t need just to get the price within the same day shipping requirement.

Oh yes, I buy beef in bulk and put it in the freezer.......now I have 2 freezers and going to buy a third Yes I have bought $8 item that I didn't need to avoid $10 shipping fee......hmmmm I have seen the buy 2 of the same sweater to get third half price....... I've also seen the parody of that one
Why can't people perform simple arithmetic? It's obvious that "spaving" is a ripoff. Paying half for a second item, when you only need one, is a sucker bet. If a notebook is a dollar, paying "only" 50 cents more for a second item means you spent more money, not less. You didn't "save"anything. You lost 50 cents.
@alphaomega5909 inflation is based on profits of companies. The more they make, the more they push prices. It's basic economics. People stop buying prices will and do come down. Covid proved that with Gas prices.
it's a spcam....
Many of us have been doing this for decades..nothing new
I spend more to get free shipping, because shipping is like $10.99
So you spend $20 more to save $10. 🤭😂.
I can't afford to save so much money.
You are wise.
Are we actually acting like a "buy one (or two) get one free is a concept people need to be made aware of?
No doubt. If you don't want it, don't buy it. It's not a deal if you don't want 3 of them

@@beejls ok, pretend like you don't know what I mean. If it gives you something to do with your day, I'm happy I could help.
if people need to be told that buying things they don't need is not saving, they should not have access to cash or credit cards
I NEVER buy an extra item just to get a discount. If I need one, I buy one. Grocery stores seem to up to 20% of items displayed this way at times.
Every generation seem to have their slang terms.

Why r they making up a new "term" for this now? I guess they're out of ideas.
Keep those consumers spending. How could we ever survive if we only bought what we need?

It was on sale! I had to buy it, otherwise it would have been like throwing money away! That’s the logic in my house.

Like your mindless stringing together of buzzwords.
Grocery store flyers are encouraging this like buy 2 get 1 for... Best just have a list before you go in and only buy items on your list.
That is CRAZY!
Buying more IS NOT SAVING MONEY!
What would it cost to buy only 1.
Does it add up to paying more $? MOST OF THE TIME IT DOES.

I told my mom this when she asked me why not spend a few more to get that deal. I said, I dont want to spend more money, I want one. Not two.
It's fine if you buy TP. Unlikely to stop using TP. It's dumb if you buy something you don't routinely use or aren't likely to need or replace soon.
You spend more in the short run, but save in the long run.
I spave on food that I use, it pays. Think BOGO on things you can freeze if it's really a deal or canned and other drygoods that get used.
I do not fall for this with clothing and try to buy what I need. Also too many items means no space in my home. Ouch!
To get a discount on ice cream it wanted me to buy four. I barely wanted one so I went with another brand.
Yep.... I've been sucked into this idea as well🙄

Buying on sale. 🙏❤😊
It’s bad unless you were already going to buy more.
Been going on for years.
It’s a scam. Spend more to save more = spending more. You are not saving anything. It’s a marketing scam.
Made up word for something that’s been going on for hundreds of years. Ok Gen Z
You save 100% when you don’t buy anything. Just sayin…….🤷🏻♂️
Only for absolute necessities
