Always Shop Around Or Don’t Complain

J.J. Jackson* | April 16, 2008

I thought this might be a good time to remind people that being a thrifty consumer means spending a little bit of time to check prices you are given for services especially considering how it seems lots of people always are complaining how they feel “ripped off” or that they are “paying too much” for goods and services. I know a lot of people these days that don’t check to see if they can get the same thing cheaper somewhere else. For example, five minutes can save you $50.

The local dealership wanted over $250 to do the preliminary 600 mile maintenance on my motorcycle but the dealership near where I work does the same service for $200.

So when was the last time you actually double-checked a price you were given? And if it has been a while do you like throwing money down the drain?

Capitalism, much reviled by it is by those that always feel someone is taking advantage of them, works best when everyone takes a few minutes to make sure that they are indeed getting the best deal. That’s keeps the suppliers of goods and services honest.
