The thing is, there are always new discounts, so you're not "actually" missing out. The whole point of time-limited sales is to make you feel like that you must grab the deal or you lose out and are disadvantaged, and it works (on me, too).
But spending $5 on a 50% off book that you won't read now, or maybe ever, and that joins the pile of untouched e-books, is still $5 that you spent, not $5 that you saved.
(Now if I only would always remember that.
