    I reckon you could easily save enough to pay for a cab if you live locally.

    OH and I don't drive either and I used to use a taxi when I shopped at Mr T but after a few consecutive weeks of taxis failing to arrive and if they did attitude from the drivers about my shopping I gave up and went over to a combo of van deliveries, more frequent bus trips or an occasional lift from my neighbour. I use iceland too about once every two months cos DS likes their stuff and their free delivery is such a welcomed bonus.
