At a great bargain make a great pause.

An appealing offer is a reason to slow down, not to decide at once. Its apparent value deserves careful thought before any commitment.

The proverb warns against letting eagerness for a bargain crowd out judgment. A pause leaves room to consider whether the terms truly suit you.

Use this as advice when someone is tempted to accept an unusually attractive offer immediately. It encourages a deliberate decision without assuming that the offer is dishonest.
