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?
