Polls: Shopping & Gifts

Just look at that holiday themed tasty sweet treat from the bakery at the mall. It was as good as it looked.

I prefer to go to the shops for anything I want to buy, but sometimes I need to use the Internet, and I make sure I'm available at home for the delivery.

This means I have to use my holidays from work, or time off to stay at home, perhaps all day waiting for my parcel.

There seems a better way, and that is parcels are left in secure lockers in convenient locations for the customers to collect at a suitable time.

Have you used this system?

What's your opinion?

I'm with a Cat Charity and I like to give our calendars out to friends to advertise our Charity.

I also like calendars, and I have calendars hung up on nearly all the rooms in my home, they are like pictures that I change every year.

Obviously I have cats calendars, but I also like to buy scenic, sporting, astronomy, flowers, almost every subject I'm interested or involved in, except cycling, I don't seem to be able to buy a cycling calendar.

I also have A5 size calendars that are handy to mark special days of the year, or I can quickly use to find out the days of the week in later months of the year.

Do you have my passion for calendars, and if so what type of calendars do you like to buy or be given, and where do you put them in your home?

When you shop, do you prefer to have your goods packed to go into a paper bag, a plastic bag, or some other option?
Some places let you take their bulk packages, especially if it’s already empty or you’re buying everything in it anyway. Those reusable shopping bags have become extremely common. I can’t remember the first time that i was given the option. How confounding it must have been. Now i mostly use the reusable bags. Partly for reduce, reuse, recycle reasons, but also because i can choose bags that speak to me or about me. Occasionally i’ll forget my bags and have to get a store bag. I typically go with paper at that point.
How about you? Paper, plastic or other? What’s your preference and why?

I knew that Silver would have its day. I started buying Silver in 1999. Now 10,000 ounces give or take. Should I sell now , at $65, or at $75 , or $80, or $100, or at $125? If I sell it, what would you do with that kind of money?

Do you prefer it when they spend more money on something nicer, an experience like a vacation or even a night out, something sentimental like pictures of flowers or something different all together?

Kids I get. COUNSELING them about price, practicality, timing, etc is FINE done diplomatically.

I think Lowes is better for appliances and they have Craftsman tools but Home Depot has a better selection of building supplies.

In parts of Europe, it is considered a luxory item, but I don't know if it's considered one in the US, since it's literally just pine resin.

I’m likely going to purchase a new truck
