I would only buy if it was something I needed or wanted to have.

I've often bought things because they were cheap, but only if it fits in with my needs.
I have missed out on many a bargain because at that moment I just didn't need it.
So did I miss out? I still had my money to buy some other bargain that was just around the corner that was most useful.
By most useful I mean, a bit of emergency cash so that if my washing machine for example went tits up, I would have the cash to search for a bargain.
It's only a bargain if it replaces something useful/needed/wanted at a price lower than the prices offered for similar products on the high street.
These days we don't have a high street, but we do have Google 365/24/7 if you can't find a bargain you haven't switched your computer on.
