Not to say that premium pricing doesn't come into play in some cases, but usually you know what you're paying for. Things you don't purchase often--TVs, mattresses, cars...how do you even begin to make a decision on those?<BR/><BR/>(And ever notice how those are the only items with commisioned sales people? That's no coincidence.)<BR/><BR/>m.v. - Thanks for the tip. I've found that your method for buying vodka is a quite valid one; I'll never touch Viaka again!JJSKCKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12980532680529123164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6350523808946777113.post-39865800569885850072009-03-05T09:23:00.000-06:002009-03-05T09:23:00.000-06:00costco has a giant bottle of grey goose knock-off ...costco has a giant bottle of grey goose knock-off for 30 or 40% less.since I never sip vodka the taste doesn't really matter, so the distinction is the amount of hangover or headache afterwards, but that depends on a person. i draw the line at plastic bottles, i will not buy vodka in plastic bottle no matter what it iskcmeeshahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16640259113083899984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6350523808946777113.post-83935352419692870732009-03-05T08:21:00.000-06:002009-03-05T08:21:00.000-06:00I think there's an awful lot of "you get what you ...I think there's an awful lot of "you get what you pay for" mentality at work here as well. As far as what do I overpay for? As it turns out, everything (stupid retail markup). Seriously, though, I usually pay more for certain grocery items. Even with Mo's discount, I overpay for hair care products. Surprised? I didn't think so.Steaming bowl o' Calderonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15049175701032872172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6350523808946777113.post-42419630940909106182009-03-04T16:59:00.000-06:002009-03-04T16:59:00.000-06:00Yeah, I think it was Consumer Reports or some othe...Yeah, I think it was Consumer Reports or some other non-biased entity that did a blind taste test of vodkas, and the far and away winner was Smirnoff.

I got plowed on it one night, spilled a little on the floor, passed out in it and was stuck for three days.Harperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01238037873111770766noreply@blogger.com
