I am with you, I even got oak wood chips delivered today because I could not find oak in any local stores. I have a lovey brisket just waiting to be smoked and now I can do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And do you find it saves money? What do you do to get the best deals? How smart of a shopper are you? I use it. Amazon Prime has a monthly option now, so you can do that if you can't afford the $100 at once - but it is cheaper than paying monthly. I had to do brakes ($$) on the car when the Prime renewal came up this year, so I'm doing the monthly until the finances settle out. Prime will save you money especially if you buy a lot of stuff over the course of a year because those shipping charges can add up in a hurry. I did when I was stuck on mass transit for 2 reasons: I didn't have to lug it home on the bus if it was delivered to my door, and it was usually cheaper to order those items than buying locally. I have more flexibility now that I have a car, but its still sometimes easier and cheaper (or just more convenient for time savings) to order online. I don't want to deal with 20 miles of stop-and-go city traffic (and wasting fuel) just to save a few pennies on something. There are situations where ordering online doesn't make a lot of sense though. One of these is the backup power supply for my computer that needed replacement recently. It has a battery in it that is heavy enough to make shipping charges wipe out any savings from buying online, so buying locally makes more sense . . . all I have to do is order online, then drive over to the supply place and pick it up. The price difference was less than a dollar in that case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you buy the more expensive items often you do not have to pay the shipping and handling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
