Everyone loves sales.  But how deep of a discount do you need to get to be totally guilt-free about a purchase? 

A new survey found the average is 23% off.  Once something’s THAT on sale, we feel like we almost HAVE to buy it.  The survey also found the average person will make $277,680 worth of guilty purchases in their life.
