A few days ago, my dad called me complaining about King Soopers and how he didn't get his fuel savings. (He participates in their fuel program, where you earn discounts on gas depending on how much money you spend on groceries.) He'd spent time on the phone complaining to customer service, all over a price difference of about a dollar, total.
In my opinion, there are two times when it's not worth making a fuss over saving money:
1) When the savings aren't worth more than your time (which $1 in gas money definitely isn't), and
2) When it's too important to make a fuss over saving money.
A perfect example of the latter is my husband's diploma frame. He has spent many years plugging away at his degree while working full time, and it's a big deal to him because he came from a family where even finishing high school was rare. So yeah, when he graduates next spring, it will absolutely be worth spending the money on a nice university diploma frame.
Furthermore, he is planning to continue on with his education after he graduates with his bachelor's, and he is looking at graduate programs that aren't particularly cheap. But again, his education is so important to him that it is worth the extra money to make sure it's a good one.
What about you? How much do you value your education?
