Yup. I put up with it because of the convenience. I don't grill that
much and a tank lasts all season and I always have a spare full tank.
Bought one the other day but also told the clerk that the Blue Rino
people were crooks.

They might be tacitly misrepresenting the amount of propane you're
getting but you just nailed it. It's convenient and you're paying for
convenience. Been in a convenience store lately?

I guess you could call the gas station where I traded the tank a
convenience store as that is all they deal with - conveniences for
passersby. Last time I traded one it was at Home Depot and recall they
were cheaper but store is 5 miles further from home and there is more
rigamarole to do the trade.

I certainly like to shop wisely but do not want to spend a lot of extra
time to save a few cents.

My wife does all the household shopping. I think for most men that
shopping is a chore and they want to just go in and buy something and
leave. Shopping for women is an adventure in itself and they spend a lot
of time at it and get the best prices.
