Same...but also add in alcohol at the bar (I don't ask price before I order...though maybe I should)Well, there's always an upper limit on what I'll pay for anything, but generally speaking I often know approximately what the upper-end will be. On those items I don't bother looking. Things like groceries for instance. I just grab what I want and put it in the cart and don't really know how much it will be until I'm at the register.nocoolnamejimAh yeah supermarket/grocery store shopping is entirely different. I never look at the prices there either (except for some exceptions).
to be honest with you tc...i do but only for certian objects....
if its video games i know what they are so no, my magazines no
but when it comes to stuff like comuters....electronics.....stuff like that then yes.
Ah yeah supermarket/grocery store shopping is entirely different. I never look at the prices there either (except for some exceptions). How can you not look at the price at grocery stores? I know the basic value of everything, so looking at the price ensures that I'm not paying more than I should be.[QUOTE="nocoolnamejim"]Well, there's always an upper limit on what I'll pay for anything, but generally speaking I often know approximately what the upper-end will be.

I may look occasionally on stuff that I know are high in the price.
But anyway it doesnt mean I just put in the basket all the stuff and dont care about what I am gonna pay at the end. I always make a rough estimation of what I will end up paying so that I dont get out of hand.
EDIT: For instance the other day I thought of buying some soft white cheese, but it cost 6 euros so I thought to myself: "whatever; feta cheese is good too". :P
[QUOTE="Jandurin"] Even menus at restaurants. They never price alcohol.rawsavonVery irritating :x :evil: :x i assume you're agreeing with me, not saying that my action is irritating? :o

Because I like the food that I like...and I'm not going to do a lot of driving around town to get the best price on something. For me, grocery shopping is about convenience. I'll go to the close supermarket so I can grab the food that I want and get the whole activity out of the way as fast as possible. It's entirely different from, for example, shopping around for a used video game. I'll linger in stores, agonize over which game to get...think about driving over to the next nearest game store, etc. Because shopping for new games to play is FUN to do. Shopping for new groceries to eat is just a hassle.Shopping for new groceries to eat is just a hassle.nocoolnamejimagree that it's a hassle, but i spend more time agonizing over what to buy to make for dinner than i ever did over which video game to buy
Almost never if it's something I want; for idle purchases, or for really big ticket items, I'll look at the price but it is seldom the deciding factor. As an example, the maple syrup we buy is nearly $20/bottle O_Oxaos
Is it that pure maple syrup stuff O_O...? If so, then it's worth it :x!

Yeah it is, and I agree. A nice perk of having excess disposable income is not having to sweat the small stuff :)[QUOTE="nocoolnamejim"]Shopping for new groceries to eat is just a hassle.Jandurinagree that it's a hassle, but i spend more time agonizing over what to buy to make for dinner than i ever did over which video game to buy I'm not talking about the no-brainer, mega-hits sorts of games that you know months in advance that you're going to get. I didn't exactly agonize over preordering ME2 for example. But during the dog days of summer when I'm wandering around a used game store and looking and second or third tier games that I passed on new and am trying to decide on which to get while waiting for the fall releases? Damn...I can spend ages agonizing over those choices.

Good man :) Was getting worried reading down, thought I was the only person that always looks at the price of everything before I buy it :? I pay attention to how much clothes cost because I don't like to spend too much for them ( pardon the pun there, tehe :P ) For food and stuff it's more about making my money go further, comparing prices and choosing cheap, filling things... That's probably bad that I'm a self confessed tight arse but it's great for my bank balance and I need to start really saving again to pay for a carUm, I always look at the price.

Gas, groceries... basically things I need. I'm more inclined to look at prices if I don't need it.
I can't stand stingy people who go out of their way to get the best price on everything. If you've got two options in front of you, and they are both the same quality, and one is less money, then sure, that's fine. But some people get pretty ridiculous with their attempts at saving. Annoys the **** outta me.
I don't look at the price unless I'm comparing two items. If I'm shopping for something it's pretty likely that I need it, therefore I will have to pay the price for it. Literally.spazzx625

Given the choice, I'll spend less or not buy things I don't really want, but I don't sacrifice quality just to save a few bucks, either.
