Oh I know how it is, I did live in a rural area for 4 years or so, two of which meant driving 7 miles or more each way to the nearest grocery store. The other two years I was lucky enough to be pretty close.

I was happy when I did move back to my home area and could walk to one if I had to, but in all honesty I'd be just as happy to go back to traveling some distance if it meant getting away from all the hub-bub of the city and burbs and all the wackos who live here. I do plan on moving up north soon if I can.

I guess my point was that I am not really saving a huge amount by driving out to MB. And I have to factor in that Stop and Shop gives me gas points. I saved 1.60 per gallon not to long ago with these exta gas coupons they kept sending me.

You need to be a smart shopper and know what prices are best. Even going to BJ's or Costco, sometimes those places are not a discount at all.
