I hate shopping in stores, so it's all a win win for me. I love Amazon for the ease of buying just about anything you want from anchovy paste to my Kindle. Cheri |

There are probably many things in the world of which you are not aware. Cheri |

I generally only go into a store if I need something right away or to kill time. Like when Angela is at the dance studio or the driving school. I rarely ever find gifts in brick and mortar stores. What most of them sell can be gotten pretty much anywhere. Little boutiques can have more rare stuff but that sort of stuff is only appealing to some people. I can almost always find what I want online and find it fast. Of course I do have to get some groceries in the brick and mortar stores. I did have a home delivery once. That was fine then. We were stuck here snowed in. But grocery delivery is different. You have to stay home for it. That's something I wouldn't be able to do very easily. |

I like it - but the damn thing renewed automatically, without our permission and is harder that h*ll to deal with over the phone. They say they're canceling and then it doesn't happen. We finally got it cancelled and when we signed up again told them explicitly that it was a one time only charge to the card... we'll see what happens next. If they renew without our permission, we might cancel the card. -- Food is an important part of a balanced diet. |

I think some of these companies deliberately make it difficult in order to make it hard for customers to change anything, so they give up in the end  -- http://www.helpforheroes.org.uk/shop/ |

If > they renew without our permission, we might cancel the card. Yes, I hate when that happens and as you say it is hard to deal on the phone and then nothing happens. I went through that when my husband retired and trying to cancel Sirius, it took about 3 months before it actually cancelled. Once in awhile I will subcribe to a magazine and I always write a check for the year at the time so no automatic renewal. One of the worst experiences was trying to cancel Jerry Baker books, and Time Life Music... they just kept coming until I had to pull the credit card and cancel it. Cheri |

That's like saying folks drive all the way to the stupidmarket just to spend $10. I can always reach the $25 at Amazon, I simply place items into my cart over a few days... and anyway in today's economy $25 is chump change. And even if I pay shipping on an inexpensive item it's like $4, takes more than $4 in gas to warm up my car. |

I made the mistake of signing up for a book club once. Then I got some books in the mail from Good Old Days that I didn't order. They were of no interest to me and expensive. When I called, they claimed that when I ordered cookbook some time ago I had given them permission to send me other books, seemingly randomly. They did not charge me for them but expected payment upon delivery. We went round and round and I finally won. They told me to just give the books back and forget about it. |

When we were in NY, we shopped at the military commissary in Brooklyn about every two weeks. I usually spent between $300 and $325. Would have cost me a ton more if I had to shop at regular grocery stores. I did have to go to other places between times for stuff like milk, bread and some fresh produce. But I mostly tried to make it on what I could get at the commissary. These days it would take some time to figure out what I spend on groceries because I have to shop at sooo many different stores. Sometimes I am only buying a few sale items. I had a hard time this week finding a good deal on Coke products. They were super cheap a few weeks back but a limit of 4 and I was too busy to go from store to store to stock up like I've done in the past. Soda is something I will rarely ever pay full price for. |

Judy
Im 70 in two weeks, live in one of the biggest cities, cook enough to keep from starving and never heard of grainy mustard. I don't know why people want to attack. Maybe its because they can't see you and, as such, suffer from an over-developed sense of cowardice. I dont think theyd be so snide or unhelpful if you were standing face to face. |

Grainy mustard is like moutarde de Meaux where some of the small mustard seeds are not ground but included in the mustard. Of course, the Internet is your friend in these matters as in this pictu http://tinyurl.com/nthj98d FYI, almost all mustard that is made except in India comes from Canada.

Knock it off with the friggin' furina know nothing BS language that proves you haven't a clue... grainy mustard is that which is prepared with *crushed* mustard seeds rather than ground mustard seeds... just that simple, far, FAR more simplistic than your IQ. |

Judy, look for a mustard marked "stone ground," and you will probably be close enough. I like Boetje's for sandwiches, but wouldn't use one that coarse in a sweet/sour chicken recipe. You can look at what is available and choose one that looks somewhere between Grey Poupon and a more grainy one like Boetje's. N. |

Dave, I don't believe Boetje's has whole mustard seeds, only crushed.

I use this whole grain mustard (local product) The pic illustrates the texture quite well http://www.taste-of-arran.co.uk/item.asp?itemid=112 A small spoon of grain mustard stirred through hot steamed carrots or cabbage is absolutely delicious.
