I FUCKING HATE THIS SERVICE. Assholes don't let you delete your account and ask you to go to their privacy policy page and read through 500 pages of text to find the instructions on how to delete your account, only for it to say you have to contact them to delete it, and when you contact them they never respond back other than the automated email response. Absolute cancer that always adds on 20 extra dollars to all of your tickets at checkout time when seats are quickly selling out. FUCK THIS MONOPOLY AND FUCK THE CORPORATE DICK SUCKING MANIACS RUNNING IT.

The fall of the old Internet was when AOL, CompuServe and Prodigy got peering rights and Classmates.com started up.

That said, I do most of my shopping online now and have likely saved years of my life due to not having to hunt through stores only to find they could “order it in” for me.

And I’ve never used TicketMaster since they went online, and don’t feel like I’m missing anything. I prefer smaller venues.

I feel ya about the savings. Almost everything I buy is shopped around AliExpress, Amazon, eBay, Craigslist then local. The trick is figuring out if the physical stores are passing any of its wholesale bulk savings to you.

Usually, that's a laughable assumption, but some things, like individual plumbing or electrical parts, just go to the big box (except for anything copper, it's like half the price online).

Tractor Supply has a decent amount of items at margin. By that I mean, like 15%. Which is way more than most places.
