yes and no since we always deal with two markets , local and domestic
If in our country, say an apple , cost 1$ and we go to Lesotho where the same may sell for 10 cents but shrewd seller quotes us 20 cents and we go for it two things happened at once, both true :
1/ we got ripped off, overpaying twice, ouch !
2/ we got what we wanted for 1/5 of home value. Halleluiah !
is up to us how we go about that , whine or smile
