Those of us in rural areas however, which *still* makes up the majority of the country, it's a different story. I have a walmart within a 15 minute drive About 3 miles. The next closest place that sells toys (Another walmart) is 15 miles away. All the rest of my hunting grounds are 20-30 miles. I can easily drive almost a hundred miles in order to get every place I need/want to check.

And when gas is $3.50+ a gal. then yes, online shipping is most definately cheaper for myself, and people who're in simular situations.

I'm a hunter. The most I've hit in a single day was 7 targets, 4 TRU, 5 Walmarts and 2 Kmarts. several kb stores as well. That trip took me about 150 miles.
My current favorite run goes up rt 95 to portsmouth nh. 2 targets 4 walmarts and 2 tru in 75 miles.
i've given up on trying o go to all the TJmax/marshalls. there are more of them here then squirrels
