This is a quick shout-out to Carrie's research skills.
We get a lot of packages. They're from Amazon, Dover, eBay, you name it. I'd worry that my wife is a shopaholic if she wasn't such a meticulous researcher.
For example: Carrie decided it'd be a good idea to have an equine first aid kit in case of emergencies. She started researching different companies that had a prebuilt one as a baseline. She found one company that offered a kit box for $150 and found the exact set with a different logo on it for $80 at Lowe's.
She compared pictures to count screws, contours in the plastic, etc.
And then she looked up coupons for Lowe's.
As far as I know, Carrie hasn't bought it, because she's still researching. It's probably cataloged in her brain waiting for the next time Lowe's has a sale. Then again, Grandpa gets a 10% discount at Lowe's for being a veteran. Maybe it'll be what she requests for Christmas?
So yes, there's packages that arrive. Sometimes more than I'd like. I do know that Carrie got the best price on all of them and she's used her equine gear knowledge to flip some items for profit (sometimes after tearing one of my undershirts into a rag, so she can polish and freshen them up!).
