I try to shop where I can buy what I need and what I want at reasonable
prices. I can justify the shopping trip by doing other errands in the
same area. Business is business and if i want good quality it sometimes
costs more. Sometimes I'm quite willing to pay a higher price,
sometimes I am not. Sometimes I'm willing to go quite a distance for
it; In this case I bought ~14# of meat and other stuff and used less
than a gallon of gas in the doing. "The bottom line" isn't always about
dollars and cents.
