Compare Chas;
Drive to Win-co: 10 Minutes
Pay $2 fee for ATM, Win-Co does not take debt-it card
Find Items 5 Minutes
Wait in line 5 minutes
Drive back from Win-Co: 10 Minutes
That is 30 minutes of my time and an additional $2.
Safeway, is on my way home and I do not have to pay cash.
Is the $2 I save worth 30 minutes of my time when I have 6 hours of sleep between my next class and next work shift, not to mention the cost of gas and increased mileage on my car, and the risk that the ATM is broken in Win-Co anyway so it would be a wasted trip, as has happened many times?
If Wal-Mart opens, I save on the gas, the ATM fees, and on the lower prices of the food. Which comes to about $75 a month.
If I did not go to school and work two jobs or had someone else to do my shopping it would not be so bad. Of course it would also help if I did not forget items like ketchup so I did not have to stop at Safeway.

Do you drive, Donovan? If you do, are you saying that you spend $75
more month to save a few minutes of driving?
