Is it a rip off? or I’m just being cheap?
Recently I bought a Jansport cool student book bag from Jc penny for 60$ as it was on sale for. The regular price on this bag is 74$ but as I look online, it only goes for 60$ in the online store which is Jansport. Did I get ripped off? as I checked eBay I could get it for 48$ but if I return this bag, the amount of gas it takes to get back to the store is equivalent to the amount of the cash I would save since I live in a small town.

Not ripped off really.
But you fell into a bit of a trap there.
Just because something is "on sale" doesn't mean that it's worth it or a good deal.
Some retailers are well known for never even offering anything at a nondiscounted price.
Everything is automatically on sale.
It's a good idea to take some time to shop around.
must be a ripoff because there's no such amount of money like that !!
now if you had correctly placed the dollar sign before the amount like this - $ 60 - then it's a different question........and no one else even noticed that
You didn't get ripped off. You paid the price they advertised. There is benefit to shopping around, and now you've learned that lesson.
You didn't get ripped off, you learned that everything has more than one price on it.
You weren't ripped off. You just didn't fully research your options before making the purchase.
I mean, it's not a rip off but it's not a deal either.
