What was the last thing you purchased?

Thats like the old days. You used to be able to call your local market, put in an order and some kid would deliver it to your door the same day.

Wow! A way technology brought back the old ways... that's a first I heard!

OK I guess for tinned or packaged goods but much as I detest shopping I'd prefer to pick out my own veg, fruit, meat or fish. But I can see how it's a Godsend for anyone with young kids, elderly or ill people. I know a friend of mind found it fantastic when she had her second child & she already had a 3yr old & her husband was away a lot for work. She said the delivery guy would even put everything away in the fridge or cupboard for her! I'm warming to the idea

THINGS LIKE toweling, toilet paper etc., is more convenient to have delivered...they take up half the cart in the store...,plus walmart is CHEAPER...

That was quite common in small towns and in the suburbs. There used to be a drive- in market we used to go to, you gave them your order at the window and they filled it for you.

Didnt they do that for apartment dwellers in down town New York and places like that? I heard they did.

[suzy1124]

Yes, Absolutely B.H.!...

i only used that service very infrequently tho due to outrageously high prices, off the charts...( i laughed when they claimed " no delivery charge " , yeah right! )...

I guess thats true. Its expensive to be lazy.

very, as they say: " there's no free lunch "

[Bighuey]

For sure. They got you coming and going.

A tank of propane was the last thing I bought last night. It ran out, and I didnt feel like taking a cold shower.

The last thing I purchased was a gift for a friend's baby's christening. A little wooden heart with his name on it to hang in his bedroom.

[Misaela]

Actually I order online from Walmart - the prices are usually pretty good altho there are some things I use that you can't get online, I order paper products, laundry soap, coffee, and I do get free shipping.

Now we don't go as often and I think we are saving money, just because once we are in the store we always find something we think we have to have.

The last thing I bought was a frozen pizza, I had just said that my husband probably had pizza for lunch today, and when we got home he had brought us a pizza from a restaurant, so we had a laugh about that.

Today I bought a jug of drinking water, some apples, oranges, tortillas, orange juice, verde salsa, milk, goat cheese and a small package of M+M's.

Were you meant to get propane?

Oh, you already had that.
