Nope, just a difference in my piece of mind knowing that I'm supporting my local B&M.

Much respect Wade! I try to support my B&M with my random singles purchases, but I don't have the money to pay 25-50% more on box purchases

Was this a New Years resolution that you had at the beginning of the year? Or did it just happen to fall around this time?

I Wish I could do more at the B&M but the cost kills me.

I don't have a decent B&M worth buying from without driving into the city.

My B&M has a 200-300% markup on everything, and doesn't sell boxes, You can get a box, but have to pay the cost of all the singles. So some boxes could ring as high as 700-800 dollars.

I would rather not support a business that has such a large markup.

Nor would I! Hell, I wouldn't buy a single stick from them.
