i'm in a small town, away from everything. any money saved by driving to a large city to shop is spent on fuel to make the drive there and back. even the nearest 'outlet mall' is a joke, because it's in a tourist trap town--and it, itself, is one, too.
I’m in similar circumstances. Except for bread, milk, fresh produce wrt groceries, I try to save up enough to buy at discount/big box, it’s usually worth the cost of driving. Probably anything I’d need to pick up, I’d try to do it on other errands. It’s not a great situation always, but I’m currently paying for rides or catching them by luck. What about online? I really dk but if you’re interested in talking more, maybe we can brainstorm something suitable.
