SALT LAKE CITY, UT (kuer) - You've probably heard stories of people standing in line for an amazing sale or fights breaking out over a bargain table. Chances are - you may have gone to some great lengths for a rock-bottom price yourself. "Cheap" has become part of the American way, but journalist Ellen Ruppel Shell says it comes at a cost. Tuesday on RadioWest, she joins Doug for a look at discount culture and what it means for our homes and our economy.
