I already stated mine but to clarify.

I think keep "good deal" for both hardware and livestock. But a sale is a "good deal" it's the same thing and you have to actually purchase from the sale to use it.

EDIT: I also think it's an important strategy to be able to take advantages of sales and good deals in such a contest, but of course you have to actually get the deal and if absolutely necessary post a receipt to verify.
