What is the closest.....
| Wed, 06-16-2004 - 11:48pm |
...business you know of near your house? Do you frequent it? How far away is it?
The closest business to my house is a pizza parlor about half a mile away. I rarely go there because I don't like their pizza. On those occasions I do go there it is because it is my turn to bring the pizza, and everyone asks for that restaurant's pizza.....so then I have to go there.
How about you?

We used to buy milk there because it was cheaper there than anywhere else, but no longer.
This convenience store sucked up WAY too much of our money for several months, before I started keeping track of just how much we were spending there on "emergency" orange juice, bread, beer, desserts, etc. Once I showed the numbers to DH, who does the grocery shopping, he immediately did a much better job of planning the weekly grocery shopping so we wouldn't have those "emergencies," and we started spending *dramatically* less on the things we use constantly.

On the one hand - it is pretty convenient but on the other hand - it's not because things are so close it's not worth it to start the car sometimes but of course, because everything is so close - it's kind of a busy area so not really conducive to walking to the store...unless I am only picking up one or two things. I've gotten much better about planning my errand running though so that certainly helps.
Great question!
Living in town has its downfalls. I've got three pizza shops and a chinese place in walking distance. And lots more about a mile away. Walkable in town if you're up to it.
The Big Pitfall is that a Super Walmart is about 3 minutes away by car. My dh wants to be buried in the parking lot. He figures that way we'll come and visit him when he's gone!
The closest store to my house is a Cumberland Farms (gas/convenience store) and a Mobil on the run, directly across the street from each other.
I definetly frequent this store more then others, but if it weren't close I would be at another one anyway.
Although, here is the problem....since Mobil on the run opened there is now a place for me to get an egg & cheese sandwich for breakfast without going off my route to work. This means that I am buying one of these way too often now...I never ate breakfast until this place opened...so in all essence I am spending more money now that they are there....I feel guilty about it every morning...

I live a 20-minute walk from downtown, 7 minute bike ride, which I did today. I can get to pretty much anything I need, self propelled. hehe.
