WTF makes people think the rich wont do the same thing to save thousands/millions? Just because they can afford to throw it away, doesn't mean they will.
I'm the same way. I'll literally spend hours researching the best deal before a purchase, reading Amazon customer reviews and questions/answers, comparing prices, sniping to get the lowest bid on Ebay, using coupons at grocery stores, etc., shopping for fuel. It's a life style that the financially secure have embraced all their lives and the reason why they are successful. If that means having it manufactured overseas, then that's what they do. Competition is your friend.

I have relatives and friends that piss off their money on stuff they don't need and never have a pot to piss in. For example, have a close relative that installed solar panels on their roof in Louisiana which isn't returning shit regarding. I'm going, "let me get this straight - you have low electricity rates but get suckered in by some smooth talking salesman to install solar panels in one of the shadiest and rainiest states in the U.S., can't get the rebates as promised and you want me to follow your (stupid) example?"
A fool and his money are soon departed.
