Your right Farm Hunter it can be cheaper to go to the co-op. But if the co-op doesn't carry what you want and you have to look elsewhere by the time you spend hours looking it. (Don't forget the 2.00/gallon gas) now it is cheaper to buy from a company that has already done the research.

I'm sure your are successful in trying to save a few dollars but I bet if your off-work time is of any value to you......you are not saving money. Personally my idea of a good time isn't wandering around in a co-op when I'm off work.

I'm not saying your wrong in you way of trying to save money but for the small amount of money you save someone can make it up with by not adding a sunroof to your $40,000 4-wheel drive or wait another year before trading in your $5,000 4-wheeler or even use the camo you wore last year instead of buying the latest camo gimmick. Then you can avoid wasting time in a dusty co-op.

Hey, just another opinion.....
