I don't think this is the exchange you are making, though.
The money you save here is no different from couponing: it's a way for retailers to price differentiate and charge the other customers more.
You are being charged a fairer price (still profitable for the retailer), for actively paying attention to what's cheaper; that'll be unrelated to the price or value of your data.
