How many of you pay over $4.00 a gallon for milk? If you look at the prices we have to pay for just about anything we purchase these days it is astronomical compared to what we paid say 30 or so years ago and even 2 years ago. Eggs...$2.00, Three of four dollars for a pound of bacon and then bread plus orange juice. That's just breakfast folks.
All things are relative and today we pay more for everything than we ever believed we would have too. Remember when gas prices rose so high and everything we bought went up for the cost of transportation.
Sooooo for me, I try and find what I want on sale but if not I decide how much I truly want something and that makes the decision easy for me. Sometimes yes, sometimes no.

Living in Spain the cost of fabric is not only astranomical its difficult to find. I have one shop within 20 Km. So I shop on line and always buy my fabric in the States.
Here the fabric is 14 Euros a metre equates to 17.84$
So if I buy my fabric at around 8.99$ a yd and pay shipping on line its still much cheaper for me and I usually buy loads at a time.
There is a site called XE Conversions.com and it gives you all the currency values if you ever want to check it out. The Euro go up and mostly down like a yo yo.

Some sites do, but usually I just take the Dollar price click the page down before I pay and look on the XE conversion site and that way I have a very near idea of what I am going to be paying
