你可别那么疯狂啊！人的欲望是会膨胀的。在省钱的名义下，不知不觉就会买好多东西。有些东西根本就不用买。买了也是放在家里积灰尘，浪费！那些团购网就是抓住了消费者的贪小便宜和盲目消费心理。

You shouldn't be so crazy! You'll just want more and more. In the name of saving money, you end up buying a ton of stuff without even realizing it.

Those online group purchasing sites are just taking advantage of consumers' desire to get a good deal and their blind consumerist mentality.
