Penny Wise and Pound Foolish

I am not sure this is the correct expression for what I am thinking about, but it is what comes to mind.  I am thinking about all the things that we get carried away with....such as scraping the peanut butter jar for the last bit, squeezing the toothpaste for every smidge, etc.  Is it really worth it?  Do you know what I am talking about?

And sometimes I just piss money away on dumb stuff...like fast food or some mindless little toy in the $1 bin at Target.  But don't let that little bit of toothpaste go to waste, oh no!

I just bought this awesome $350 carpet cleaner.  $350!  Seriously.  Have I lost my mind?  I know what you are thinking...I do love it.  My carpets are thanking me.  What I am thinking about is how I don't think a thing (okay, I do think about it) about spending that kind of money on a carpet cleaner but I am going to scrape the peanut butter jar or turn the ranch dressing bottle over for every last bit.  Does it matter?

I honestly don't know.  I am perplexed by human behavior at times.
