I'm honestly curious, not disputing.
Depends,Ive come out way ahead on some online bargains over big box local.In fact,sometimes bigbox has online ONLY savings on some items.Order online,drive to store for pickup,and save some bucks.

Shipping vrs. automobile expenses? Can be a wash to a savings even.

Internet shopping is a world shaker,thats why the politicals want to tax it.Growing by leaps and bounds,and price is a big part of why.

So many online places have free shipping deals and other bargains. Many stores that have offline B&M stores have tons of special deals that are available only online.

Careful planning of where to shop offline and online, along with taking advantage of sales, rebates, and coupons, allows you to make one dollar do the work of three or four.

Believe me, if I didn't do it the way I do it, we'd be hard put to even get enough to eat of conventional foods. But I'm able to keep fridges, freezers, and pantry overflowing with (mostly) organic food on a very TIGHT budget.

Same here. I just ordered a new rifle online from a different state that was a total of $370 savings over what that rifle would cost from local gun stores (and believe me, I went to more than a few them looking to order this rifle).

Just ordered my prescriptions from www.rxnorth.com

It'll save me about $2000 per year.

Boleyz,

Thanks for pointing that out. I went to their site and sent them a message about it. I never caught that when I signed up. However, the little contact info of mine that they required to sign up is all over the Internet anyway. Well, at least mine is.

SUBJECT: Not https

Hello Steve Nelson,

Thank you for contacting us.

In general, any page can be secured by using https instead of http. Just insert the s, hit Enter to change the page to secure, then complete the information.

We are aware, however, that this may be inconvenient and we are developing a redesign that will automatically move members in and out of secure areas of the site, as needed.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Vince

Boleyz,

BigCrumbs.com got that fixed a long while back. Now when you click on "Join" you're taken to a secure webpage.
