Paying twice the money for a box of cornflakes doesn't make sense yet the smart-set does. Possible reasons: 0) Ignorance. "Smart" people can be quite ignorant of certain things. 1) Snobbery 2) Logistics - Walmart too out of the way 3) Time - long lines at cashiers 4) Some combination - sometimes you need one or two items, so occasionally you go to the expensive place. Many examples where people will pay more for convenience. Starbucks in the morning - hey how much does a cup of coffee at home cost?
