There's a financial tradeoff of course, but I try to always compare only how I'll feel and not the perceived dollars and cents value of my time. Sometimes it's not all about the numbers. I often return from the grocery store feeling overwhelmed and drained and that's certainly not conducive to writing and creativity. I also fret about the time I've spent in the store more than is logical considering what I know to be the dollar value of my time. Like I said, I think it's about feelings rather than actuality. So, yes, I find sacrificing money for time to be a great tradeoff regardless of whether or not the dollars lost makes budgeting sense.

It reminds me of the old, old days when you could have a "bill" of groceries delivered to your home from the local store. It's amazing how things have shifted from having an individual in your town deliver groceries to the computer and a courier service (UPS, FedEx, etc.) deliver them! Thanks for sharing! Heather R.
