Sometimes , the " just because we want it ," can also be a necessity , even though it doesn't have the priority of a urgent , no question need . Particularly when you're dealing with children . As they say , " money can't buy love , " but sometimes the kids , or even a loved one , needs to know they are valued . Sometimes , even you need to know you value yourself . For this , I may think of after season sales . Let's take Halloween , for instance . I saw large dragons , heavy , about two feet tall , that I would have loved to have as a permanent decorating item . While I appreciate all the work the artist put into creating the mold for these and the paint and rub off effect , and that both the store and the employees need to make a profit , a hundred dollars each , seemed a bit high for my , " I want it ," feeling . I know that this particular store , is big on after season reductions , with , "after season," actually beginning before the holiday in question , brcause they don't want to store things until the next year . I wanted these badly enough , that I made a couple of trips back to the store to see how many they still had in stock , and undamaged . I even saw a lady with a pair in her basket going though the check out line . Later , they went on half price sale .
