You are lucky! The closest Sams is 100 miles from me, the closest BJ's is in Ohio! LOL
I like having the Super Wal-Mart, but once you've been in there for the 5th time in one week ~ I know that store like the back of my hand! ~ I live on a military base out here, so I do have access to a PX (I have closets that are bigger) and the Commisary (grocery) is my only saving grace! I coupon and wait for sales and I do rebates (I am not as good at that yet).
We drive to Rolla ~ 25 miles from here, to go to the bank, shop at JC Penney (stand alone store not in a mall), they also have a Big Lots and a Kmart (don't like Kmart much) .
My biggest problem is I can't get fliers from the newspapers. I ordered the Springfield paper, and I get no fliers and when I called them, they said because I live so far away they don't include them (it's 85 miles from me). And they only paper I can pick up locally is the Pulaski County Demacrat ~1 page weekly paper for the county! and St. Louis (still no fliers though but they do include Sunday coupons)!
So I am still at a disadvantage! LOL Sometimes I can check the fliers online for stores if I know I am going to the area ~ but it's still hard!
Anyhow, thanks for listening to me ramble, I don't mind living out here cause it's nice and quite but I sure do miss the shopping!
