[quote=Anonymous]Settle a debate! I received a $25 gift card to a local, gourmet-type grocery store. They sell specialty items but also many of the usual grocery items you find at big box stores, just at a higher price point. I have no desire to purchase any of the specialty items they sell and look at this $25 as “free” money to stock up on some of my usual grocery items. So, for example: Let’s say I spend the $25 on the things I’d need to make a pasta dinner. I’ll spend more per item—say $2.95 for pasta noodles as opposed to $1.50 at the big box store—but I’m eating this pasta dinner for free. Someone is arguing with me that I am just wasting the money by paying extra for things I can get cheaper, and I should save the gift card until I can use it on something “specialty” that I can’t find anywhere else. That it’s stupid to waste $25 on ingredients for a dinner that would have only cost me $15 at the big box store. [/quote]
