And they want me to shop locally....
I have need of an older style A/C cover. On-line I find new at $130.00 from Amazon and used for $40 thru an E Bay seller. Here at home..I am just off the phone to the local RV dealer/robber...$240.00...

I think it very cheese ball however when people go to the local guy, get 20 min of free advice, have no intention of buying from him in the first place, then go order it elsewhere. That is just plain cheap!
Some snowbirds on here report that they stock up at Walmart before coming to Quartzsite...some even drive to Parker. I always feel that part of the experience of any place is trying the local stores. So it costs a little more, so what? Don't be a cheap tourist!
nothing wrong with stocking up on essentials that are less costly before heading to a tourist trap. the tourist trap area is for souveniers and other things you can't get elsewhere. I would rather save my money for something different to purchase from that area.
cheap tourist??? many don't have mucho bucks. some of my travels, it is all I can do to pay for the site and to get there. from then on I penny pinch :) Everyone has to do what they can do on their income to find the balance for themselves.
I hate that 'cheap' word big time. it implies so much when it isn't so. If I could throw dollars around like they free for the taking I would :).
