I agree, in some people the need to consume is a disease. Hi Brian,

I think the need to consume should be classified as a disease as it definitely impairs a person's judgement. Maybe if I was a minimum wage earner, but even then it would be tough for me to justify.

I believe it has changed my life. It's just like trying to find the cheapest air fare from airports within X miles. You still may have to drive there, pay for parking, stay at a hotel/motel. What about the time you spent on the internet looking for the cheapest price? By the time you add in all the opportunity costs, you might as well have bought the more expensive fare!
