In search of the perfect....

I think the internet may have ruined my chances of ever just buying something in a store. I need to know that it is the best, if other people have liked it. Most importantly I need to know that I am getting the best price. I know I could go from store to stores, but you know. I found in my research wholesalers and also suppliers that will sell you items at the same cost they sell to stores. Ruined I tell you ruined.
