Do you believe in saving a few pennies?

If you were shopping for an item and it was priced at $6.00 at store "A", but you knew that the same item was priced at $5.30 at store "B", but store "B" was 20 miles away from you and store "A" was right down the street.
Would you drive the 20 miles to store "B" to save 30 cents?

I doubt that you'd save a penny if you had to drive 20 miles. Gas costs money!
But if the store was within walking distance or it if was on the way home or if I were going to that general area anyway... yes, I'd wait and buy the item there.
One needs to consider all the options and 70 cents saved ten times is 7 dollars... a lot more than I've made here today. :)

That is not a big enough savings to drive 20 miles for. With the price of gas you would spend more driving the 20 miles. Not a good deal.
