Like others on here, I've bought a lot of stuff online and I also buy locally. The Internet sure has changed how we shop, hasn't it?
I'm a pretty conscientious shopper when it come to equipment, tools, parts, etc. and I'll comparison shop just about everything. Drives the wife crazy because I don't look at the price of food in the store and she'll know whether a can of tuna is a good buy or not. If I want tuna, that name brand can on the shelf is in my cart.
I do appreciate that local stores need to make a profit, but I've bought auto parts from smallish places in California, South Carolina, all over the US. Why can't my local guy compete with someone else in the States? (who is local to SOMEBODY) Most of the parts are manufactured overseas, anyway.
The decision on "where-to-buy" is never a slam dunk. It's on a case by case basis and the local guy DOES get preference if his price is close. However, at the end of the day, it's MY money coming out of MY pocket and if I overpay no matter WHO I buy it from, then I'm not being fair to myself OR my family in spending our hard-earned dollars wisely.
As for your example, I got a good chuckle imagining the scene where you picked up the wagon. good for you!
