People really get in trouble here sometimes especially when they buy in bulk.
Ex. You buy 5 picture frames for $6.
It might sound good, but is it really.
Well, it depends on alot of things.
First of all, you should know that the local dollar store sells the same frames(individually)
so if you were to go there you'd save a buck.
Besides, if you only need 1 or two you'll be saving more.
Secondly, figure in everything!
How much extra gas will it cost to go to the dollar store
as opposed to your original destination.
If it's on your way home it's well worth the trip,
but if it's out of the way you might want to reconsider.
It all depends on just how much you want to pay.
When counting the cost think on these things.
How much gas will I have to use and at what cost?
How far away is it and what will I find when I get there/on the way there?
(car accident, traffic jam, burglary in progress, other crime scene, store closure, etc.)
Will it put me late for an appointment or other previous engagement?
Also don't forget about the wear and tear on your vehicle.
Repairs aren't cheap now days.
Just a few miles can make you or break you!
