I guess some people think they're saving money if they can't see the whole bill in front of their faces at once.
Totally agree with you CC. I hate driving. I also hate wasting gas. I could end up driving around for at least a hour, going to 5 or 6 stores. That is a huge waste. If I can find a figure online for $10 or $11, I'll take it. I have been getting most of my stuff from BBTS and it's been breaking down to $7-$9 a figure. So I have no problem with it. Cause I know I'm getting what I want and I don't have to waste gas and pad the oil companies execs already deep pockets.
You also have to think that Target sells their Joes for $6. So an extra $3 to not waste gas and time isn't really that big a deal.

Right, that is getting a little out of hand. But if you (not you Outback) want to spend that much, that is your choice. But I don't think $10-$12 is unreasonable for something you want.
