In Response to Jonathan Tomachick's March 8th Post

Do you find yourself doing the same when you shop? Have you ever had to cut another shopping trip short because of splurging for sale items the week prior?

I often get sucked in by sale items, especially when they are products that I have purchased in the past, and been pleased with the results. A perfect example would be this past weekend, when I went food shopping. There was a two-for-one sale on a type of cookies that I like. I previously had no plans to purchase these cookies, but the sale lured me in. However, I ended up realizing that I don't need them before I left the store, and put them back where I got them.

I've never really let my spending get to the point where I have to make large sacrifices; I just try to shop smart and only buy what I really need.

When was a time that you or someone you know spent far too much in a splurge-like shopping spree, and had to make sacrifices because of it?

"The Noob Guide to Online Marketing"

I was doing some basic research on marketing as a whole, and found a very interesting infographic (link below) describing the ins and outs of online marketing; everything from social media to pay-per-click (PPC). Out of these, I found that social media seemed to hold the "most" importance, containing the most "to-do" items out of all eight sections of online marketing. I found this interesting when considering social media's youth in comparison to many other online techniques. Yet it makes sense - the majority of a company's potential customer base utilizes social media. As an added bonus, its free.

What do you think to be the most important item within the infographic? Why?
