I have to say that I have always watched my pennies! I find it fun to find the best prices for the things I buy. Adding in the cost of shipping is important to finding the best prices.
I have taught myself the same thing, Mark, and I make myself pause to add the two and use the new total to tell myself how much I'm paying in all. It's so easy to trick ourselves. The people who mark an item at $4.99 will tell you that we see the $4 and 'ping' off of that number right away. I tell myself that it's really $5, PLUS tax...here in Canada.
I wonder, now that I think of it, who really is buying the latest 'n greatest of tech. It can't be the 20 something who is a barista at Starbucks, or the young engineer just starting out who still has to live with mom 'n pop for the 'next while'. I purchased a Samsung S7 Edge as part of a two-year contract with my service provider in March 2017, so I'm coming up for renewal. I'm very impressed with the S7, and couldn't possibly bring myself to ditch it and pay another $500 for the S9 or whatever they offer. The S7 should be good for another two-year contract AFAIC. It still looks like it's brand new, and I carry it everywhere.
I don’t have messenger on my phone or tablet. I simply use the web browser included with the device. Farcebook has gotten more and more demanding that I install messanger, but so far I’ve een able to keep them at bay. The latest trick is to not allow desktop mode even when I request it, and I have to go into the address bar after requesting, and change the “m.farcebook” to “www.farcebook”.Same with my S6, but the battery is getting to where it will not last even 24 hours. I need to get rid of Messenger as I keep getting adds uploaded, and it I don't clear - it drains the bat even faster.
Anyone know if I can get rid of Messenger and still keep Facebook?
