Not true. Yesterday I made a large purchase, and by doing lots of
shopping around, I got an extraordinary deal.
You must be an "old wife" with the way you rely on old adages.

Payment isn't always in money. Sometimes it's in time spent
investigating.

this is something we really agree on... on woot in the last couple of days
they had aexerciser that was listed for 279.00 df has been looking for a new
item so she googled this when she saw it... the next best for the same modle
was 340.00 and next was over five hundred... so it certainly pays to shop
around and be aware... and shopping for bargians on stuff you are already
going to get certainly beats reading a romance novel or watching a stupid tv
show.

How faux-sophisticated of you to use a French expletive (which I had
to Google). Many economic interactions are parimutuel, and the more
savvy consumers have the advantage. That is so trivial compared to
the advantage that professional investors have over common folks,
which would horribly distort income distribution even under a taxation
regime such as existed during the Eisenhower presidency. My smart
shopper practices do so little to depress the buying power and wealth
of my fellow working class Americans as to be almost negligible.
Want to argue with me? You'll lose, or should I say, I think that the
likelihood that you'd lose is very probable? More likely, you didn't
even really understand what I was talking about.
I am amazed by the range of skills that this one guy I know who has
done some work for me has, but we all have our special areas of
expertise. Mine appears to be--other than the maintenance of
resilient flooring--political economy.

I maintain that, "You get what you pay for!!!!!'," is not the way
things work, and I challenge you to argue otherwise. Will you be the
first person to convince me that I'm wrong about the failings of pure
market ideology? I double dog dare you.
