I refuse to pay more for the identical product - it makes absolutely no sense to do this for one on a fixed income - as many RV'ers are.
When you think you got the cheapest price, there is always someone else to let it go cheaper. I guess if you have nothing better to do with your time and are scraping every penny, then that's fine. I don't go out and buy at the first place I see, but if I think it's a fair price, then the savings of time for me to do other things is worth more than the hassle to spend hours searching online where I can get the lowest price. If i'm searching online, I generally don't go past the first page of searches. I also don't run the gas out of my car going up and down the street comparing prices between stores. I had an old supervisor (passed away now) that would get so mad at his wife because she would drive 20 miles to save a dollar or two on a carton of cigarettes.
We used to clip coupons a couple years ago. We would spend $5 every other month on a website that would tell us what coupons to use at a certain selected store to get things at the best price and sometimes free. I still have bottles of hot sauce sitting in my pantry that we got for 25 cents each or free, I can't even remember. Then we would spend $1.50-2.00 every sunday on the newspaper to get the coupons. Then we would go online to these coupon websites and print out coupons. You know how much ink and paper for a printer cost nowadays? All to save money on stuff that we didn't need or wouldn't of bought anyway. Then we would spend at least an hour or two every sunday clipping coupons, going over the list....pulling coupons from ones we had in order to make a list to go to the grocery store. All to save a little money. Not worth it to us. We don't have to do that sort of thing and we choose not to. We understand that for some to get by, then they might need to invest that time in it.
