In the first place I can't get macs here. I also like to shop price on PCs and don't like to pay the tax on computers when I can get free shipping or a better deal.
Other things...today is an example. I gave in and thought, "I'm not going to order an angel food cake pan online. I'll go to my local store and buy it with a discount coupon". And I wanted an inexpensive (under 50.00) new shower seat. After 2 stores I quit looking.
I ended up at 5 stores and NO ANGEL FOOD CAKE PAN or plastic shower chair! Spent more on gas than I would having it shipped. This happens all the time...I think I'll buy a blouse at Foley's or someplace....no sale...I end up all over the place looking for a blouse and frustrated.
Found free shipping and a reasonable price online for the chair w/back and have yet to order the angel food cake pan.
Do others have frustrating shopping in their town or is it just because I live in a town of 80,000 ?
