They aren't always worth it, but many of those extended warranties on electronics and office chairs and stuff will give you back the full, undepreciated value of what you bought if anything goes wrong with it. Usually as store credit. That usually only applies for lower value items that aren't worth repairing - and that's where those warranties shine.
Mark on your calendar a month or two before the warranty ends. Then find something wrong with it that requires using that warranty. I don't think I've ever had to actually lie - for example my now 2 year old office chair loses an inch or two of height a day from the gas cylinder leaking. Guess what, that's covered under warranty - full replacement value back. And they don't care about taking the "defective" chair away either.
Just be sure you read the terms of what the warranty does and doesn't cover.

Honestly, there's nothing quite like snagging a good deal. Whether it's getting a discount on a brand-new washing machine or saving a bundle at the grocery store, it feels like a win. Companies know this well, which is why they often use coupons or special offers to tempt us into buying things we might not have planned on getting, boosting their sales in the process.
Take a simple grocery trip, for example. You head to the supermarket with a clear list—just veggies, nothing more. But then you spot a tempting deal: buy one, get one free on pasta. It's hard to resist. Pasta lasts forever and it's always useful to have on hand, so into the cart it goes.

A guy who works for me taught us this trick.
We aren’t really a buffet type family in terms of what we eat. But if I take the work crew out or have a group of people visiting from out of town and I’m gonna pay for their dinner…the buffet trip is fun. .

Discounts, passage into places you shouldn't be allowed to go, free stuff.
The key is you have to ask with 100% confidence. You cannot give any indication whatsoever that there is any chance they will say no.
This works better if you are attractive, and a woman, but contrary to what incels will tell you, neither is required. Just positive, confident, direct.
Usually, such offers can draw in new customers. Picture this: you're browsing online, and you see a pop-up that says, "Register now and get 10% off your first purchase." Even if you've never shopped there before, it's hard not to feel the pull of that discount.
Whether online or in stores, these deals are a clever way to catch your attention and turn browsing into buying.

So, when you see a "Buy 3 for the price of 2" deal, that one T-shirt you originally planned to buy turns into three. Suddenly, you've got a bargain, but you've also spent more than you intended, boosting the store’s average basket value.

Additionally, when companies offer coupons for specific products, it's a smart way for them to clear out slow-moving inventory. Those targeted discounts not only make space for new products but also encourage customers to buy items that might have otherwise sat on the shelves, gathering dust.

But here’s the thing: while some people hunt for the best discounts and wait for the right offers, others push the boundaries of what’s acceptable to get ahead.
These posts showcase just how creative—and sometimes questionable—people can get when seeking benefits, not just for products, but in various aspects of life.

Take Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, as a recent example. They reportedly fired about 24 employees from their Los Angeles offices for misusing their $25 meal credits to buy non-food items like toothpaste, laundry detergent, and even wine glasses.
