Went to Publix today to try and spend over $60. I ended up spending $27. Why did it take so long? Well, I went through one time, and checked out the prices on items I normally get at other places. I am the shopper from hell...I remember prices, I can tell you about how much a normal price is at all the stores I go to...and I check the Weekly Ads to if the items I use are on sale...and if they are on sale at 2 different places, I of course go to the cheaper place. All the stores are within 3 miles of my house. If I go to Lynn Haven (3.5 miles away) to use my OTC card at Walgreens (closest one). All the stores I go to except The Pig, are within a mile of Walgreens. Back about 20 years ago, I looked into opening a business where I charged people to shop for them, deliver food, and stuff...Long before Uber, Lyfy, or stores delivering stuff. I had a couple of clients lined up...regular taxi riders, that said they wanted to know when I got started. But I began to see vehicles with Gopher Service and other names..My service was Ring 4 Service. Got a deal on Business cards, made up a logo, but the phone number I wanted was already taken 444-4444.,,and had to come up with the money for a business license..coming up with pricing was really hard. I kept putting it off, and after calling a few Rental Companies to see about offering the service to stock condos before the clients got there, I just let it go. I was making good money at what I did, and didn't have to work Near as hard. LOL Kind of glad I did...I mean there are all kinds of shopping and delivery services now days...and I can barely get through my OWN shopping...might eventually have to call one of them!

Interesting story. With my husband gone, I fill up my Walmart cart online; and our housekeeper picks the order up and puts the groceries away for me. Have a good day.

George and I can be in the store for an hour easy without even trying. We say we're going in for one thing, come put with ten. At least everyting is less then ten miles away.

I am in and out. I usually only go to Walmart. We don't have a lot of choices close

So did you get all you needed or was most of the stuff too expensive? I discovered that my best option ordering once a month online is Walmart and their Great Value brand

Sounds like our shopping days, it's nothing for us to start at 10 am & not get back home till AFTER 4 in the evening. But that's cause we do all all bills on the same day too getting the $ orders & getting them filled out & going to other bills to get them paid face to face THEN we go do our shopping & get gas & come home.
