SINGAPORE (The Straits Times/Asia News Network): Chloe Liem feels that her S$3,950 Cartier Trinity earrings are “practically free”.

The 20-year old rationalises her purchase like this: She initially wanted a pair that costs $5,250, so getting a cheaper set makes it feel like she is saving $1,300 from the get-go.
