Slippery slope...then it's that jacket that's been hanging on the rack at Macy's for days...the tools at Sears collecting dust on the shelf...best to look elsewhere for your next ride. Try garage sales in the spring and summer, bike swap meets, thrift shops, church rummage sales, word of mouth search for bargains, or something new on sale at one of the online retailers, or check bike shops to see what they are sending to the dumpster. Just leave the bolt clippers home.
