That's definitely true for me. I don't buy hardbacks. I don't buy the first edition paperbacks (I forgot the name they call these). I wait for the "Mass Market" paperbacks. And then, only once they've been out for a while and I can buy them used. There are so many books out there, that I never need to obtain a book when it's brand new and super expensive. I can wait a while. When they price eBook versions higher than used mass market paperbacks, I usually go for the used paperback instead. Of get the book from a library.
I don't go to movie theaters. Or even buy DVDs anymore. Just too expensive for what it's worth to me. I wait until it comes out at a cheap streaming price or get it for $1+ at one of those RedBox kiosks.
I'm in no hurry. I still have a VHS tape I made of "Kiss of the Spider Women" a couple of decades ago. Unfortunately, my VCR died several years back. And the tape in the VHS cassette has probably rotted. Maybe I delayed watching this particular movie a tad too long...
