Simplify your shopping by paying online, picking up locally
No comments
Less than 24 hours to go before the big day. Ideally, this day would be spent with family and friends celebrating the season and enjoying each other’s company. Realistically, it’s our last chance to go out and get the presents we’ve either procrastinated picking up or just realized we needed.
Unfortunately, everyone else is doing the same thing.
Here’s a simple tip to cut down the amount of time you spend out and about. Many big retailers give offer to let you purchase items on their websites but pick them up locally. This allows you to avoid having to wander through the store, struggle to find a sales associate (if needed), and stand in a long checkout line.
Of course, it’s not available everywhere. As far as I know, it’s only at the big box-type retailers (which I’m generally not that fond of) but it maybe worth your time to call ahead to smaller, local merchants (with better customer service) who may set aside your purchases at the front counter.
Good luck getting your last minute shopping done and Merry Christmas!
