You missed the point, which was to support local businesses and the friends and families that are our neighbors. If you are driving something big enough to fit a washing machine in, you are spending more than $50 on your trip. I can't speak for the cheap kicks you get out of it as far as the monetary value that you place on that, but while you are doing it, consider that you took that opportunity away from a local business in the community in which you live. Not everything is about the state or federal level. Sometimes it's focusing on what we can do in our own small community that makes all the difference.
