Free

At what point does a free item become not worth it to receive?

 If it takes a tremendous effort, like hiking ten miles to receive a free television, would you do it? I personally wouldn't.

What about buying an expensive item? If it is a value for it's price, I would buy it. There was a study done on the longevity of clothing. The results found that buying expensive clothes was actually cheaper than the cheap articles of clothing.

What about if store A sold cereal for $5.50; whereas store B sold the same one for $5.80? Store A sounds better.

Let's say that store A required a ten mile drive. Store B was a half block walk? How about now? Store B sounds better due to the cost of gas is way more than $0.30.

So the overall idea is that : Do the cost of time and travel justify the savings of the product in the long run?

Voicing Thoughts

When is it okay to voice our opinions out loud?

If we do, should it be constructive criticism or outright slamming or shaming of the other person? Or do we just imply our thoughts?

Usually, when our thoughts are positive, we don't give a second thought about it. But if it's negative, people may hesitate.

Personally, I would like for people to be honest and tell me the truth. But not to the extent of saying negative things about me for their pleasure.

So, sharing our opinions is a good thing. But we must be considerate.
