Yes, but did you negate the cost savings from the purchase by the amount of time you spent? I have a bit of a different calculus, in that my time can also be billed to clients, but if it is going to take an hour or more to accumulate data and evaluate least cost choices on sub $100 purchases, I've wasted money (where time=money).
