Wise use of sales, coupons, and rebates can lead you to spend more money.

The statement "Wise use of sales, coupons, and rebates can lead you to spend more money" is incorrect. It allows you to purchase more for the same amount of money. For example, if you have $100. Without the use of sales, coupons, and rebates, you can buy 10 items at $10 each. If you use the rebates etc, and each of the 10 items is reduced in price from $10 to $9 each, you will spend $90 instead of $100 for the same items. You will then save $10

They will convince you that your saving money by lowering the price but really there getting you to spend money on stuff you dont really need.
