I recall there being tons of sales last year as well - AND - at that time, I
wasn't using LUGNET to find deals on the net.  I was just driving around and
I found plenty of deals.

With the net available, there are tons of deals to be had!

I think that this will continue because both stores and LEGO themselves get
over-stocked on certain items and heavily discount them just to get rid of
them.

I've been astounded lately by the number of sales at various
stores carrying LEGO toys.  And, quite frankly, it's been
pretty hard on my wallet.  Granted, I just came out of my
Dark Ages, but it seems that every time I'm ready to settle
back and enjoy, a new sale comes up and I have to buy more
on the off-chance that it won't happen again for a while.

So I'm wondering if the frequency of sales since December is
normal, or are is it just a fluke?  If it's normal, I can cut
back my spending and relax, maybe even sticking to a budget
(hahahahahaha).   I'm thinking mostly about the BOGO .5 sales,
as K-Mart has had roughly one a month.  And then there's those
great Web offers like Zany Brainy's Stone Tower Bridge, and the
castle parts pack (I mean 6097) and lots of other discontinued
stuff from kbkids.com...

I guess I'm just saying that I've spent a lot this past month,
and although I don't regret it, I shouldn't keep doing it.  Is
there an end in sight?  Or do I just need to pace myself?
