Gary,is it allways about the dollar? I know I've paid way more than some things are worth on the market,but, I wanted it and I got it and I'm happy. I dont want to go to me grave with tons of money and even more regrets/wishes.
Ah...my friend...you cut me to the quick. I might be a frugal guy, but I'll tho down the buck when it's in order. Sure, when it comes to the hobby, I'll get just what I want but also at the best price I can get it. I like to spend my money wisely. A lot of times I'll buy more expensive parts, because they're better, but why pay more to shop at "a forum favorite" vendor, when I can get the same thing for less and seriously fair shipping?
When it comes to foods, I shell out more for the better quality, some authentic organics, and make a lot of things myself. A lot of what I make myself cost me a bit more sometimes, but the trade off is worth it. Start using homemade butter for a few weeks and then go get a stick of that store bought crap, and you'll never go back. Just this week I made some homemade vanilla maple syrup with all natural ingredients. I couldn't believe what I had gotten used to over the years. Went to make a taste comparison, and when I open the cabinet door, Mrs. Butterworth was looking at me with that. Macaulay Culkin face. I'll pinch the dollar is places where I can, so I can spend it where I need or want to...simple.
