...stores try to send things in as few packages as possible, if the customer will agree. It sounds like they messed up. I'm glad that you're getting everything in the end, though.

I've been doing that same. No matter what I save, I quote, 'A penny saved, is a penny earned!'

When we need something, we look at the warehouse first. Sometimes there's no real deal, other times items are less than at the other markets, and sometimes the deals are great.

I hope that you can find good deals on your pet items, as well as human items, of course.
