Me: "Okay, here's one; it costs $15".
Her: "But look, you can get 3 for $40!"
Me: "But we only have one shower; we don't need three".
Her: "But its a better deal. You get ripped off if you only buy one".
Me: "No, we lose money because we'll only use one and the other two will sit in the closet. Then we'll have spent $40 instead of $15".
Her: "But its a better deeeeal.... "
So how many shower curtains did we end up buying? Three. And where are the other two? In the closet collecting dust...
