Considering the ease with which you can buy online, there’s really no point going to shows for purchases, IMHO...
Yes, I'm buying less at shows and usually return with most of the cash I took. I'm more realistic about what I have time to paint now. Its the impulses that end up on the lead pile. That said I would pick up a new period and look to buy a big portion of it at a show but that would be planned. I got 20% off all my 28mm Romans last year from Newline at the Leeds show, that was worth doing. I mostly get scenery at shows as its harder to find online.

Agreed, the show discounts can sometimes be worthwhile on big orders

I can remember someone not too far up on this thread expressing a dislike of shinies :
I expect that was me, but I didn't slag off those who like them. I'm always inspired by peoples enthusiasm for their hobby, whether I like the subject matter or not.

No, it was me. But your point was the very one I was trying to make

Subject to the fact that anything outside COTOTS is heresy and apostacy.
