What item do you have the hardest time refusing a deal on?

Sorry for the poor the worded question. Basically just asking what product do you have a hard time saying no to when it’s on sale? For me it’s headphones and knives. I have one of each that I use regularly and then a bunch more that are just sitting in drawers or other places around my house. But every time something pops up I have to talk myself out of buying a new one. How about you all?
If it’s not at least 50% off is it really a deal?

Wifi surge protectors, batteries, sd cards.

That's me too. Everybody has to eat, everybody does not need new SSD's, headphones, or kitchen gadgets every week.

For me its:
Any freebie... like free fries at McDonald's when the Raptors hit 12 three pointers.
Slurpee deals at 7-Eleven, the only time I ever set foot in the place.
Happy Hour at Starbucks when it's the 50% off deal rather than the BOGO.

For my wife it's the 50% off stickers at Loblaws at the end of the day...

Sure I gave that talking chewbaca to my daughter. But my instinct was 'its chewie, takes batteries and talks and its only 30 usd bucks= SOLD!

Good quality meat sales. I somehow can't say no to filling my freezer. I have to eat it eventually so I don't see it as a problem

Come on folks.... Don't lie by naming other products. We all know everyone can't turn down a sale on toilet paper.
Tis banana is IRIE 😎

10% off is cold, 50% off is warm, 75% off is hot, but FREE IS RFD!

yup, a lot have been mentioned. Usually it coincides with the popularity of a deal thread

headphones, have more than I know what to do with.
sd cards (if I can throw away a slow card and get a faster one with more capacity, the better)
mice
happy hour starbucks
ssds when you can get the 2x capacity for the same cost as what I paid last time.
speakers of all sorts (especially smart speakers or streaming speakers)

Lysol disinfecting wipes. The online discount for it is just too good, way better than storefront.
Hyped gadgets that are highly discounted. Never need a Google home mini but for just 9.99 it's instant buy without thinking. Face With Tears Of Joy
Noot Noot!❗😄
Great coffee, better mind!

Amazon have the 3 pack 240 wipes for 9.98 right now, with 2.5 coupon, ebates and S&S you can probably cut it down to a fairly good price.
But it still not the best one compare to this 6x110 one in here (It's expired though).
