how far would you walk to save 21p? who's right?

I send my kids on the bus - free in London But we get our milk delivered - more expensive but one less thing for me to worry about/think about, I figure we save as I don't have to go shopping and the one thing DH can't cope with is a breakfast without milk..... no TEA :eek:

LookingAhead

I'd walk it....just for the exercise! We all need 10,000 steps a day to maintain our current weight & keep healthy (don't we? It's something like that anyhow) so I would look at it that way and relish the thought of never having to set foot inside a gym again!!

A friend of mine will drive round all the supermarkets looking for the cheapest deals. She uses more in petrol than what she saves.

When I was in Luxor I argued over 11p on our hotel bill. My nana taught me to value ever penny(wish she'd taught my husband).

Theres no way i would walk 15 minutes to save just 21p. I must be lazy too.

I'd walk further but buy more milk at a time, it ususally lasts at least a week at a time, and any extra I would freeze, then I'd get the extra exercise especially on my arms carrying them and save money whilst having to go to the shop less often which would be time and cost effective :beer:

Here's another one to throw in the discussion pot.

There is also a possibility that this shop, that is further away, is a local shop, some of which are in danger of closing down due to the big supermarkets and their superior buying power.

In addition to the exercise, you would also be suuporting local traders.

Just a thought

Nor me!

That's half an hour in total - I haven't got time to waste 30 mins walking to get milk just for £38 over a YEAR.

And I hate walking.
