Pocket money, saving and spending, sentence 2

Before you buy, ask whether you really want the thing or only want to fit in, whether you would use both items in a «buy one get one free» offer, and whether a cheap toy will break and cost more in the end.

Who acts: you, get one free offer, cheap toy · What happens: buy, ask, want, fit in, use, get · To what, where: thing, items, get one free offer, one, more, end · Speech: someone speaks here
