Buying code instead of building it

This is in the DotNetNuke category, but can fall under General Development.  The longer I code the more I buy components rather than build them.  Our company's forthcoming website is DNN-based, and everyone is loving it.  The site is very extensive and I had two weeks to create an entire framework for content population to begin.  I needed certain functionality and I needed it fast.  The DNN-packaged Text/HTML and Announcement modules alone weren't going to cut it.

So I turned to Snowcovered.com's collection of DNN 2.0 modules.  I purchased 3 modules which are used extensively on the new site in progress.  Total around 70 bucks.  I don't like sending off expense reports to HQ (even though they're always great about quick reimbursements),  but buying components has to be more economical than building components 99% of the time.  If you're working in DotNetNuke, you have to checkout existing commercial components first.

Yeap, I'm a component buyer every chance I can get!  Now back to my DotNetNuke Hello World app because I can't find a component to do what I need it to do!
