How far would you travel for $100 savings?

Simple answer. Make the trip. Get your MM and the $100 saved can be transferred into some wicked good proteins from Wassi's. Have them throw in a bag of lump and break that MM in right in the parking lot  

I knew you were one I could count on for good advice!

If you want it, do it. Eff a bunch of financials. Life's too short for all this analysis. Do what you want to do. 

I don't slander your decision making process, why are you slandering mine?

Slander?  Sarcasm?  I confuse them all the time.  Which one gets lawyers involved?

I'm with Jason.  Rational descisions = boring.

If I was rational would I have tattoos?   No.  Think of all the funny situations I get in always having to wear a turtle neck or scarf.

Seriously, did you even read everyone's opinions?  You really think I'm singling you out?  Don't flatter yourself. 

No, I didn't feel you singled me out, but your post was right after mine and I feel you slandered all of us that make decisions based on cost.  You could have posted your opinion on decision making without cussing at those of us who do. 

ouch.  I had a good cry, but I'm ok now.

Cussing?  I don't trust elf financials either.  Santa pays to well.

I read above free beer at wassis. Been awhile since I lived in that area but sounds like they copied Pettys meat market who had free beer on tap while you shopped. I used to grab steaks at lunch and have a couple beers while I shopped when I worked in Melbourne. Also used to hit up the free beer off the one on 424 in Orlando.

Free beer is one of my very favorites.

@theyolksonyou   OK - you deserve props for finding that pic so quickly, but I could have gone my whole life without seeing it.

@blasting I'm not real proud of that myself.

Anyone every watch the show "The Life and Times of Tim"?  

It's off the air now, but they did a whole episode on chunky scarfs.

What day you going?  Gonna be out near the Giant Rat (Orlando) on Wednesday & Thursday next week for Stoelting Technical Class and I may swing by there myself.

It's gonna have to be Monday. After that, I'm in Miami for a couple weeks.

I need to set up a trip to Jax sometime soon.  Prob April!

Ya, not very far.  Certainly not as far as Jason.

Brent, you have no idea how far I had to drive for that scarf.

At the very least I would call and see if the local spot might consider a price match. I don't think I would make the trip to save $100 unless there was a golf course in the vicinity that I was itching to play.

Why shouldn't I drive farther to save a hunnerd bucks? That's a tough one, but I'll take a shot. Say I'm working at the N.S.A. Somebody puts a code on my desk, something nobody else can break. Maybe I take a shot at it and maybe I break it. And I'm real happy with myself, 'cause I did my job well. But maybe that code was the location of some rebel army in North Africa or the Middle East. Once they have that location, they bomb the village where the rebels were hiding and fifteen hundred people that I never met and that I never had no problem with get killed. Now the politicians are sayin', "Send in the marines to secure the area" 'cause they don't give a ****. It won't be their kid over there, gettin' shot. Just like it wasn't them when their number was called, 'cause they were pullin' a tour in the National Guard. It'll be some kid from Southie takin' shrapnel in the ass. And he comes home to find that the plant he used to work at got exported to the country he just got back from. And the guy who put the shrapnel in his ass got his old job, 'cause he'll work for fifteen cents a day and no bathroom breaks. Meanwhile he realizes the only reason he was over there in the first place was so we could install a government that would sell us oil at a good price. And of course the oil companies used the skirmish over there to scare up domestic oil prices. A cute little ancillary benefit for them but it ain't helping my buddy at two-fifty a gallon. They're takin' their sweet time bringin' the oil back, and maybe even took the liberty of hiring an alcoholic skipper who likes to drink martinis and fuckin' play slalom with the icebergs, and it ain't too long 'til he hits one, spills the oil and kills all the sea life in the North Atlantic. So now my buddy's out of work and he can't afford to drive, so he's walking to the fuckin' job interviews, which sucks 'cause the schrapnel in his ass is givin' him chronic hemorroids. And meanwhile he's starvin' 'cause every time he tries to get a bite to eat the only blue plate special they're servin' is North Atlantic scrod with Quaker State. So what did I think? I'm holdin' out for somethin' better. I figure, **** it, while I'm at it, why not just shoot my buddy, take his job and give it to his sworn enemy, hike up gas prices, bomb a village, club a baby seal, hit the hash pipe and join the National Guard? I could be elected president.

It really depends on the purchase.  If it's for a cheaper hooker, my advice would be to reconsider.  Sometimes the cost isn't apparent until later.  

Real talk. Good advice.

Good Nola Hunting

I drive a Tundra. I would spend more on gas. I would just pay $100 more locally and spend that time with a local dealer. If you continue to buy from him or her maybe they will discount some.

I used to think that the best part of waking up was Foldgers in your cup. In reality, it's checking to see what kind of random crap Nola spewed while I was asleep.

Waking up would be worlds better if you upgraded your brand of coffee.

I'd also add I have a company car that pays for gas.
