Now that’s rich.

Yes, the person who understands why the phrase “penny wise, pound foolish” exists is making fun of the profligate spender, environmental menace getting her panties in a twist about getting the cheapest gas for one of her seven urban assault vehicles.

Sounds like Ms. FancyPants has an actual mental illness. I hope she finds the cheapest therapist within a 1.2 mile radius of one of her multiple homes

We are all enjoying making fun of this all, but yes ... this is probably right.

This is the story of DCUM, truly.

Your employees aren't spoiled kids.

But wonder if they'd prefer cash bonus instead

A kid saying yes when asked if they want a vegetable with their lunch, or asking for a smaller portion is not a spoiled kid.

Guac is not an extra vegetable. Sure it has veggies in it, but you’re making it sound like Oliver Twist is at home asking for spinach and mom says no. It’s an over priced dip when out to eat. It may have great health benefits, but kids can eat the 5 avocados I got from Lidl this morning for the same pricr.

So why are you taking them out to eat at all! Why didn’t you buy some chicken, rice, beans, and tortillas at Lidl this morning? You made an entire trip just for avocados? Seems like a waste of money AND time…

Where was this said? Stop making facts up to fit your narrative?

She said she didn’t want to buy the guac because she just bought avocados at Lidl that morning. PP was pointing out that this argument can be used against ever going out to eat at all. She just went grocery shopping apparently- so why are they out to eat?

Please stop the ridiculousness. People were stupidly saying “I am not going to deny my kids vegetables!” That’s like saying:

“ I’m going to get gas when I need it!”

“I’m going to buy a water bottle whenever I want it!”

Get gas but get it cheaper with about 3 seconds of effort. Fill a reusable water bottle at home.

And kids with parents who don’t frivolously spend still get avocados! Maybe not a scoopful once every 3 weeks for $3, but 5 days/week for the same price.

What? Who doesn’t get gas when they need it? Are you stupid?

Nice…

It was related to someone above, who said that when they need gas, they go to whatever gas station without looking at what gas stations in the same area are significantly cheaper. Within a .2 mile radius, the price can vary by .75/gallon. It’s dumb to not check prices.

How many gas stations do you have in a .2 mile radius?! Sorry, we don’t all live by the airport.

My Waze app shows a station that is $2.79 and another one that is $3.80, within 1.2 miles. I assume you drive your vehicle and pass places with gas stations away from your rural home…

It is this obstinate refusal to see how this one simple change can save you money, which waters down everything you say.

You already had to increase your ridiculous estimate by 600% when called out, ma’am. I fill up my 15 gallon gas tank once every two to three weeks. I’m not driving 2 miles out of my way (roundtrip) to save $30 a month. It’s not that big a deal.

I bet if you look while you're out, you don't even need to drive out of your way at all. But this is the mindset that was discussed earlier in this thread. Either these things are important to you or they aren't. To me, it's ridiculous that someone won't drive 2 miles out of their way (worst case scenerio) round trip every 2-3 weeks to save $30/month. You don't think it is a big deal.

Right. And it’s not important to me. Which is what I said before you numbskulls started arguing for some weirdo reason.

At a certain income, $30 a month is in the noise. Tell me about your home size and location, what kind of car you drive, how long your commute is, your budget for your kids’ college, etc. before you want to discuss wasteful mindsets

Sure:

Commute is zero (retired by mid 40s)

I have many homes (3 are rented out, 2 are vacation properties, and 2 are homes that we spend more than just vacation periods of time in). They vary in size.

We have 7 vehicles, all are similar to Tahoes or Highlanders.

Kids go to colleges that are $100k a year each. No aid provided, obviously. We have about $560k in each 529 but have decided to pay cash for their education and the 529s are saved for future generations.

Jeff can verify that I have posted some of these facts before- all are true.

And he could also verify that I look to save money when possible. My guess is I have more money than almost everyone I know in real life…but I still think you’re dumb for willfully paying more for something like gas, a water bottle, etc unless there are no other options.

Your turn…how much you have in all those categories where you think any amount of money is “in the noise” because you can’t be bothered to drive 4 total minutes for a $30 savings.

I like experiences (travel, shows, excursions, luxury travel, etc.) That’s something I will very happily pay for.

Hahaha!!!! OMG thank you, this is the most hilarious “flex” I’ve ever read!!! Who the f—k needs seven cars and three houses?! How embarrassing.

Is that your answer to the questions:

home size and location, what kind of car you drive, how long your commute is, your budget for your kids’ college?

- to answer your newest: no one needs those things.

Different poster. Why on earth would you buy seven cars for yourself and then tell other people that it’s not okay for them to buy their children guacamole?

You are being extremely wasteful and ridiculous with your money.

Because we have many homes. So we fly to home x and then have vehicles there to use. Somehow this makes sense to us- but wow, maybe you’re right!!!

And do you have guacamole waiting for you at home x there to use?

They most certainly do not. They drive to the store in their Range Rover(s?) to buy avocados to make guac -- it's so much cheaper to make than to buy that you are STUPID if you have ever bought guacamole. But they only buy those avocados if they are on sale. If they are not, then DH has to sneak the kids to Chipotle, where he will get them bowls with both queso and guac -- behind OP's back. The strawberries and persimmons, however, they buy at the store without regard to price.

Yep- They will have greater savings in the end but at least you will have made fun of them.

At 500k (LOL) I'd still would never add guac/queso, but that's because I'm going to just get a quick meal and know it's not worth it. I will spend extra $$$ at places that are worth it, but Chiptole is definitely not one of them.

Also big shoutout to people making near 500k who still look at grocery prices. I would absolutely not buy something overpriced just because. I also will look at every price and never be like the poster just throwing it in the cart/basket without looking at the price before (please remind this to my wife who actually is the breadwinner overall).

My goal in life is to maintain my income and wealth so that price will never ever be a factor in what I, my children, or grandchildren choose to eat.

We have a seven figure annual income and a net worth that's 8 figures. I still look at prices at the grocery store simply because I think it's stupid to spend $7 on something I can buy for $3 (recent example, chocolate chips for cookies)

You are missing the point. No one is saying buy the exact same thing at a higher price.

No. The PP was talking about grocery stores. That implies that you are buying items that have multiple price points, not just that you don't look at the prices at restaurants.

Sorry that you're both poor and stupid.

What is wrong with you? That you feel the need to be this awful to people on the internet (while hiding behind anonymity of course)? That you think calling someone "poor" is an insult? Something is seriously wrong with you.

Even after you said this, she barrels on insulting people over nothingness. Don’t get it.

The funny part is generally anyone uses poor as an insult is someone who did nothing to earn the wealth they are wield as a badge of accomplishment.

Wait, what? So how many homes do I need to own before I can buy guac and queso with abandon?

Actually, it's gross to use that as an insult.

Ask the person who tried to flaunt her wealth by saying 5 minutes isn’t worth $30 to her and then asking others how much they have. She’s paying hers off slowly.

Lady, it’s not worth it for you either. You would have literally have to save $30 every month for ten thousand years in order to cover the cost of the cars and houses you don’t need.

Saving money in this way is your hobby. It’s fine. But you don’t need to lecture anyone else on it.

Apparently I do.

Obviously not to the many posters who find easy ways to save and don’t like to save money.

Oh, well! I tried! At least you’re about to finally disclose your HHI and assets…oh wait. You can’t because it disproved your point about being “too wealthy” to care about lowering your costs.

It depends. For example, one Connecticut beach house is worth more than two mountain cabins in the Shenandoah. But many, though -- you need to own many homes before you can buy lots of queso.

I think I would rather go for owning more assets. We’re disagreeing on this?
