They got your attention with 5% off? Boy are you easy! Drive to the reservoir and watch it fill. :) :)
Well, I couldn't resist, after all. Looking on their site, I found a Nikon SB-600 flash that I realize I needed. I bought one thirteen years ago, and now I have two. It's a very good flash - with 5% off $76.

Dennis is absolutely correct Jerry. Even though you may not have the money if you keep buying at 5% off you'll
make it up in volume

Jerry, you should go for it..! Here's the plan. Get a loan for $1,000,000 which will allow you to buy $1,050,000 in gear. Sell the new, unopened gear at a discount to quickly pay back the loan and you get to net the remainder of the $50,000 in either gear or cash. You can even create a business and write off the expenses of your home as a home business and other expenses that your accountant can be creative with.

And if you walk toward a wall, each step going half way, you'll never reach the wall. :) :)

He doesn't have to borrow money. If he has to take out loan to buy his stuff I would try to stop him.

KEH sent me a 5% off coupon. Will I be able to resist saving 5%? The more I spend, the more I save - but the more I spend. What a conundrum! 
Such is life.

just pick out the most expensive item you can find, then take the 5% in cash.
now you can afford to buy something you really want.

You owe it to yourself, and the US economy to spend at least a million.
My mother in law was a fine example… when she passed there was 1 closet packed full of clothing with the sale tags still attached… everything on sale

Was it in the 80's banks gave 6 1/4% interest on a savings account & more on a CD? Now, I only save when I spend. Pay a year up front for trash pick-up, save 10%. Use my rewards card for gas, get 3% cash back, 2% at the grocery store. Buy family-pack groceries, save 15%. Since I do far more spending than saving, I'm often doing better than a measly 6 1/4 %!

Anybody can run out of money if they try hard enough. My ex-wife is an expert.

During the Carter administration you could get 13% on a CD
