Every month I get a special delivery brought to my front door. It saves me time and money for the staples that I know we will need every month. I like it especially for big bulky items. I was buying dog food from a local big box store, but the store discontinued the exact food we need for our dog. I requested that the store keep that item in stock, but they said it was a decision that was made at the corporate level and they could not change it. I buy two thirty pound bags of giant breed dog food each month for my Great Dane. I would have continued to buy it at my local store. When they told me that they would not carry it anymore, I could have searched other local stores to see if they had it. However, I have spent hours driving from store to store in search of other items without luck, so I was not looking forward to hunting for the dog food locally.

Convenience won out and I searched online instead. I know I am not alone in shifting spending habits from brick and mortar to online purchasing. Not only did I find the dog food I was looking for, but it was cheaper and the heavy cumbersome bags are now delivered right to my front door. I save probably an hour of my time each month and a half a tank of gas to drive to get it.
