Well, duh. I place hundreds of online orders each year. But not everything is feasible for online ordering. And I can't afford some stores' high shipping charges. Try this. Next time you have to go to the grocery store, drive to a store 50 miles away. Don't forget a way to keep the frozen food frozen and cold food cold. Don't forget to allow at least 20 extra minutes for getting behind somebody driving 20 mph below the speed limit on a country road or an accident you can't get around. Make sure you have enough gas for a 100 mile plus trip. Make sure you have any returns from mail orders ready to go to the UPS store while you're there because it's the only one within 50 miles. Don't forget to allow time to go to at least two stores for the things not in stock at the first one. Oh, and the drugstore if any prescriptions are ready.
