I’ll admit I had this mindset at some point, then I did the math that between a local lumber yard that will deliver pretty much anything for free as they have deliveries all over the area, so a consumer small order will be on the way to somewhere. Local nurseries will deliver pretty much most things for a fairly reasonable prices or free. And for those times that things just don’t fit into a car / suv or whatever I have, there is u-haul rental or HD truck. Needless to say that thought process went away pretty quickly ![]()
that’s all internet being internet. For first time parents the list of “necessities” that you always need to have with you is about a mile long, and requires a suburban + roof storage box + possibly a trailer. It’s ridiculous what’s out there. Then people realize that that giant stroller that they bought is useless, the crap you need with you to go anywhere fits into a small bag, and you could have just as easily gotten away with a much smaller car.
