1. Western Digital 500 GB, Internal SATA Hard Drive for $ 159.99 at Best Buy; Pretty good deal, considering it turns out to be about 32 cents per GB (cheap!). A product file photo from Best Buy is shown alongside.

2. Canon S3 IS, 12X optical zoom digital camera for $ 356 at Amazon. I have been tracking this camera for a long time now, and this has so far been the cheapest deal from a reliable supplier. A product file photo from Pricegrabber.com is shown alongside.

And now, I am in a state of utter confusion. To buy them or not? The deals seem awesome and I have been looking for similar items for quite some time now. However, suddenly my personal-finance-brain has started screaming at my I-want-this-cool-stuff-now brain that I don’t need these things. However, if I let this go now, I am not sure I will see these prices again. It’s time for some “need-based” decisions now.
