Just bought 3 pairs of my favorite Brooks running shoes (Glycerin 20), because they just went on sale, which means they're about to release a new version and it will likely be worse (for me) than the current ones (because in the past they almost always have gotten worse). Those should last me until mid-2024 when I'll have to once again find good running shoes.

Maybe I should buy another couple of pairs.

@jitterted just think of the price these shoes will be in a couple years. It’s not a bad idea to consider buying more.

@cobalt I just bought a couple more using some coupons!😁

There's a limit to how much I can stock up due to them degrading over time, but also, maybe the new versions are _better_?

@jitterted you know they will really try to make so me great improvement that won’t scare off the regular buyers. Turnover is very important to sales profit. In last 5 years I’ve started buying duplicates and more of products I really like. I’ve seen so many products disappear from production since Covid started.
