They don't accept coupons printed from the internet, and we don't buy the newspaper. So, if I wanted to coupon, it would mean driving at least 20 minutes to a humongous national chain store so I could save 20 cents on Hamburger Helper. It's just not worth it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1156719194860099075.post-71882350292829835392010-09-03T14:30:58.304-07:002010-09-03T14:30:58.304-07:00I agree with you about online shopping.

Somehow it makes me feel better....i dunno.<br /><br />it just all sucks. I would love to live like a hermit in my own world. Own a cow, chickens, have a garden, no power, etc. I can dream....Surviving and thriving on pennieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17549443211123230264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1156719194860099075.post-67132188697257280642010-09-03T10:46:32.928-07:002010-09-03T10:46:32.928-07:00I completely hear all that you are saying.

By prices, plastic, uselessness, spending my money, etc. I try to enjoy it or at least make the most of it when I have to do it. I have to say that shopping online for some items works well for me because I do not find as overwhelming (at least once I find the companies with the most eco-friendly packaging). <br /><br />Even then, I cannot win because I worry about the actual shipping. Is it OK that everything is shipped efficiently and would have to be shipped to the store, then I would have to drive there and back?
