Chains like IKEA have made it cool to buy things that don't tax your budget, but there's a hidden cost, Ellen Ruppel Shell explains in this excerpt from her new book "Cheap". Anyone concerned about the environment or workers in the Third World may not want to press for too many answers
This link is an expert of the book: Cheap!  There are costs to the discount culture!  Well, of course!  But before we all say its bad!  We must look at one example of how we forgot to barter with the owners and walk down to a local markets and bargain our way to what we need!  I do hope to pick this book up and get to read this at some point later on.

Last November, we learned about Alice.com, a website that promised “free shipping, saving you time, and making sure you never run out of bathroom tissue.” At the time, we wondered what exactly the founders of social shopping network Jellyfish (bought by Microsoft in 2007) were building.

Do I need a reminder from this website such as these?  Yes I would, but halt!  I really feel my Posty sticky would suffice!  I love my Blackberry and my Mozilla Sunbird!(Calendar) Anything that requires payment and extra entries are just a hassle!
