Agreed :)
Of course, since shopping of any kind is at the bottom of our lists of fun things to do, we tend to give Christmas presents that arise from hubby's hobby of making stained glass items. He cannot stop making the stuff, so we end up giving it away for Christmas/birthday/wedding presents, etc. And that does fulfill the miserly side of us - 95% of the store value of such items is in the labour cost of making it, not the cost of the glass, copper and solder.
