Cable TV

As some may know, I don't currently have cable TV. It's not that I can't afford it or anything, I just don't feel it's worth the cost. I currently get my TV fix through Hulu and Netflix. It works pretty well, the kids have their own Netflix queues and can watch the instant streams in their room through the Wii, so they seem mostly satisfied.
However, the other night they tried convincing me that I would save money by getting cable TV. They explained that I am currently missing out on a lot of TV commercials since I don't have cable. I didn't initially understand how this could be a bad thing. They then elaborated and advised me on how many of these commercials have really good deals on products and would allow me to save money by taking advantage of sale prices that are in the commercials. Seems using these sales would offset the costs of buying cable lol.
I have to say, I do commend them on the effort put forth in their argument. They seemed to have thought it through well, and I'm starting to fear that their ability to con me is becoming elevated on a daily basis.
