I feel that most of the time, my time is worth more than the money saved doing monotonous things to save money. Sure, getting the Sunday paper and clipping a few coupons saves money and doesn't cost time, but taken to the extreme it does. I have friends that drive an extra 30 minutes to save off a few cents in gas or ones that endure the hoards on craigslist to sell an item for 50$. I'd rather take the craigslist item to a goodwill, donate it, and take the $50 off on my taxes later. Some people shop at 3-4 different stores on sunday to optimize their costs, but I'd rather shop at 1 store and spend an extra 20$ to avoid doing that. It all comes down to preference but time spent at home on a project or with family is worth the small amount of money I'd lose doing things optimally.
