it isn't irrational to do either.
reading reviews isn't about the power of the dollar you're spending, its about ensuring the purchase you're making is the one you want. you can spend money and be assured that you're buying something worth the money. but the question is whether you actually want that thing that is worth the money you're spending.
comparing prices is getting less worthwhile, especially if you take a lot of time to do so. but it can be worthwhile depending on the case.
