I'm all for the ideas, especially since I'm unfamiliar.

To me, shipping boxes just makes sense for the reasons I've listed, but as you mentioned, there could be good reasons to do it differently.

And quite frankly, if there's a known place to have a plethora of foods SWMBO would be able to and choose to eat, it might be nice just to do something differently for the experience of it. But I suppose that also is a little dependent on not being tired/dirty and not wanting to go shopping. Neither of us care that much for it when it's not something exciting.

Being tied to certain places by certain times can be a drawback I suppose.
