Actually, I don't. If something costs more than $50 I wait until it goes

| (...) You mean "an extra $235"? I know that it was my initial reaction, at least. The obvious solution, I'd think, would be to give folks the option to opt out of the LEGOLAND trip, or not to include it-- some folks may not really want to go, and (...)
