Shopping Centre

You visit a shopping centre. You are interested to buy a calculator, which is costing $45. Your friend informs you that the same calculator is available at $35, at a shop just 10 minutes drive. Do you go the nearby shop?

In similar incident, you are buying a refrigerator $500. Your friend informs you that same model is available and being sold at $490, 10 minutes drive away. Do you travel to the nearby shop?

It is a matter of relative comparison In terms of $45 the difference of $10 seems significant enough to drive for 10 more minutes But when one is paying $500, a $10 reduction seems trivial
