Damnit people, Buying a $400 tv does not save you $50 it costs you $400.

If you're serioulsy worried about that $50, maybe you should rethink the purchase.

It's that damn the more I buy the more I save mentality that is the reason for the current economic problems right now.
Absolutely agree. The logic people try and spew out is shocking at times. I have a friend who is in some rather serious financial trouble. He'll say something along the lines of "I quit smoking and I determined that the money I save each month on cigarettes is roughly equal to the monthly payment on a boat ... so i bought a boat".

That there is a head scratcher.
