I don’t have any idea how you buy in stores 90% of the time. I mean, I get all food in stores. I get as much else as I can in stores. But *no* electronics store (such that they are) carry anything I want. Home Depot and/or Lowes have what I want *maybe* half of the time. I could extend this list for the next half hour. I wish I could reach your numbers.

And that started 25 years ago when I’d walk into Circuit City or Best Buy looking for movie - which they invariably didn’t stock - and they’d say, “we can order it for you to ship to your house right now.” I’d thank them, no, and tell them if they don’t start pushing back now they’ll all be out of jobs in 10 years. Oh well.

I am at a point in life where I don’t need anything. I have more clothes and home stuff (tools, bedding, junk) than I can use. So basically, I only buy groceries, truck fuel, twice a week meal out, and occasional beer at a dance hall. I have 4 things on autopay.
