Call it a character flaw, but I have real difficulty paying a higher price for goods and services when I'm aware they're less expensive elsewhere. I've had this conversation with my 7 year old many times, when she's asked about purchasing items.
Daughter: Daddy, can we get this?
Me: No, it's not on sale and it's cheaper at Coscto/Target/Amazon than here.
Daughter: I feel like all you ever care about is price.
Me: Someday, you will, too.

I've had that conversation a few times as well.
