A couple of things to think about

Just because something is on sale doesn't mean you have to buy it.  A deal isn't a deal if it wrecks your budget.  Retailers use sales to make you feel like you're missing out — but the truth is, you're not saving money if you weren't planning to spend it in the first place.  In that case, buying a $100 item at 25% off does NOT mean you saved $25; it means you spent $75.  But did you really need it?

TL;DR stands for "Too Long; Didn't Read."  It's a slang term used to introduce a summary of a lengthy text, or as a comment indicating that a piece of writing is too long.  Essentially, it's a way of saying, "Here's the short version because the original was too long."
