I find that nowadays I get better deals (on books/movies/music) because I choose to wait. After seeing that the price of stuff "usually" goes down when it's no longer the hot trend that everyone is talking about and people tend to give me stuff they are tired of, or loan it to me, or I use the library, or find it in that proverbial sales bin and realize, oh my I had it on my wish list.
The big picture of the stuff I paid full price for that I later see in the clearance bin, well, I laugh at the irony, but at the time I bought it, it was within my budget.
