Time is more valuable than money. If you do not believe that then just wait any old person will tell you, you can not purchase your time back. You can never get time back. On the other hand money is just money and if you waste it you can always get more. That said, look at the way you saved the money. You spent more time talking with your Mom sounds like time well spent to me, you spent time visiting your parents since you were picking up the cheaper dress, again sounds like time well spent to me. Bargain hunting is only a waste if it keeps you from those you love, being a cheap person, cheating someone you care about out of their money just so you can consider yourself frugal that is wasted time and effort. Budgets are great sticking to budgets are wonderful.Time spent with those we care about now that is important.

There is a point where people get goofed up over costs, but I would say that a bit of internet searching and a phone call was well worth the extra savings it would lead to! Plus, now you WON'T feel like it was wasted money, and you can totally enjoy that purchase. I hope that you do enjoy it, and that you have some insurance of being able to relax at the wedding and just feel great.

It,s the fun of the chase, add to that you have just saved $50.00 and I would say the end justified the means.

$50 is a big difference, at least in my opinion. I recently purchased a condo, and with mortgage payments, condo fees, etc., I would be so excited to save $50! That extra money could go pretty far.

I think it depends on whether or not your time would have been better spend on something else OR if you didn't enjoy your bargin hunting. If you had fun finding it $50 cheaper than awesome. I'm amazed when I only have X amount of daollars to spend on something I can generally find it for X dollars
