[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You would be surprised if you leave the DC Metro area how much prices come down in food and consumables.

Ever hear of Sharp Shoppers grocery store?

BTW, if you have an upcoming expensive repair on a car and can limp along 150 miles away, you may find it's 1/2 the cost or less.[/quote]

Yea this is true with everything really-and we are not even talking about “rural” areas. I used to live in Raleigh, NC which is obviously one of the more expensive areas of NC. I remember very clearly when I had to have a specific part replaced on my HVAC and it was $300. A couple years ago we had to have the very same part replaced here and it was $1600. Even accounting for different brands and inflation that is pure insanity. [/quote]

The water supply valve to my toilet failed and wouldn't turn off the water. It wasn't an emergency by any means. No leak or anything. Called the Mr. Plumber. Charged $500!!!!! Turn the water main off. Opened up some faucets to drain down the water. replaced the valve...less than 15 minutes total.  $500![/quote]

That $500 has to cover the callback costs about the garage disposal that was "working fine before you touched things."[/quote]
