Sometimes I think it is worthwhile and other times not. I always calculate how much I could be earning in that time if I wasn’t waiting in a queue.

I always laugh at people like my dad that travel 5 miles out of the way to pay $3.89 instead of $3.95.

I think if we are not careful about the ways we try to save money, we can focus to narrowly -- saving pennies, but missing the opportunity to save dollars and have a real impact. Absolutely!

Since he had nothing else to do at that time, it was a great thing for us. It was also on his way to work, so we didn't waste any gas by going.

SDXB (Semi-Demi-Ex-Boyfriend, a.k.a. The Emperor of Cheap) is a master grocery shopper who keeps his pantry, freezer, & fridge full at a fraction of what I spend on food. But what's he spending in gas and time? To my mind, grocery shopping and urban driving are both fairly miserable activities. Spending any more hours than necessary at them just adds to the misery.
