Shop around online,One part can be cheaper at one site and the next one you need is cheaper on a different site.

Amazon.com is cheapest like...98% of the time with free shipping. For that other 2% I Google the part number and click on Shopping to find a price on there. If nothing shows up then I click through individual websites. You can save some serious cash if you shop around.

Never pay for shipping though. Never. There's always someone offering free shipping somewhere.

I really wish you'd start your own web-based business......

For what? I work a full time job as it is..I don't need a second job.

To pay more for an item that is being manufactured by a corporate giant and resold by thousands upon thousands of websites is just silly. The market is so watered down with vendors reselling stuff that it isn't even logical for someone new to enter the market. Hell even the fabrication business is getting watered down with new ones popping up constantly.

Want to complain to someone? Complain to the suppliers selling their stuff for dirt cheap on Amazon. Rubicon Express has their own Amazon store and so does Rugged Ridge and Rough Country and many others.

This is just the sad state that we live in these days. Corporate giants are able to undercut the smaller guys by such large amounts that it is near impossible to say no. With the price of everything going up, except wages, folks need to save money where they can.

So you do all of your grocery shopping at the small local corner store and avoid all of the deals and coupons that bigger stores can offer? I can't image paying $6 for a gallon of milk when I can get it for $3. ;-)

I shop at the grocery store that treats me with respect, greets me and my family when we walk in, makes sure that they do whatever they can to make my sure my trip to their store is a pleasant experience.

I don't shop at wal-mart....never have, never will.

I don't scurry all over town to save $.05 on frozen orange juice.

I spend my money where I get quality products at a fair price and exceptional customer service.

Yes, I gladly pay more for quality service and pleasurable buying experience. It's worth every penny.

I'm not talking about $0.05. Frozen OJ is gross too. I just picked up 2 fresh squeezed OJs for $5 yesterday. Lol.

I suppose we can agree to disagree. I have no idea how Colorado is or how your cities and towns are set up but here in South East Wisconsin is is basically all big box retail stores all fighting for business by offering wicked cheap deals. I tend to be more frugal than others.

Or perhaps you're more well off than I am and youre able to afford paying more for the same items. Who knows. To each their own.

You could have bought OJ off amazon for $2 with free shipping though and saved $3. You must be rich.
