Hold on.....I just fell out of my chair. :)

Synergy, how expensive is it? I have a list of stuff that I need to order and its really not that bad when I consider the time and the fuel. AND my buddy gave me the name " Cheap B - - - - - d".

I share Synergy 58's perspective. I look at every item in every flier but I've decided it's generally cheaper for me to drive 110 miles round trip to get an item than to pay for shipping.

Try ordering into Canada!!

I have $340.00 worth of stuff in my basket right now and they show $29.00 shipping charge. Its an hour drive and 50 miles, so its 4 gallons of fuel round trip and minimum 2 hours of drive time plus time in the store. $3.65 x4=$14.60 for fuel so that leaves $14.40 divided by 2 hours = $7.20 per hour plus miles on my car. AND I'm exposed to crackheads on the road. What kind of prices are they charging you?

That's why I usually just buy the same thing off Amazon or better yet, eBay.

I buy wherever I can get the identical product at the best overall value. It is rarely at the very same place all the time.

^^^ X2 ^^^ on Amazon. Using Prime (annual charge), we rarely ever pay for shipping and it's here in two days. Not only that, have you ever noticed that the "sale" price at CW is generally the same as the regular price everywhere else.

You have to be careful with Amazon. If it doesn't ship out of their warehouse it could take forever to ship. Currently waiting more than 2 weeks for an item I should have bought locally.
