I know this is old, but I have to brag. I have found a maple syrup from my home county. They met me at the school where our 4-H Fairs took place over Labor Day when I was going to my HS reunion. I am scheduled to get a new order at our B & B Assoc. Conference in 3 weeks. We are partnering the Conference with the Small Farms Conference. Now all I need is for DH to be OK enough after his surgery Feb 19 for me to actually go. (If not, I can meet them at the exit by my house to get it.) I hate paying shipping costs - this is how I avoid it..

One of my pet peeves, people forget to calculate the value of their own time and their own time off. How much is YOUR time worth? If the shipping costs are less expensive than your time, pay the shipping costs. YOU have value.
I used to pay a courier to pick up a cheque, deliver it, pick up the package and bring it back to me. I was making 4x as much per hour than it was costing me to send him back and forth. I had a better use for my time.
