How much do stores pay for their shopping carts?

April 9th, 2009
Princess Diana asked:


I’ve always wondered how much shopping carts actually cost. I looked online and found websites that sell them for about $120, but that’s if you buy one. So I’m guessing a store like Wal-mart, who buys them in bulk, would get them at huge discount. So does anyone know how much they actually pay for one shopping cart?

Are shopping totes really better for the environment than brown paper or plastic bags?

April 7th, 2009
dlightful2u asked:


With all the craze of celebrities using shopping totes and retail clothing stores that supply them, are shopping totes better for the environment? I’ve looked at these “This is not a plastic bag” totes and I wonder “Aren’t these too made of non-environment friendly materials? If say, one of these shopping totes lasts me a year, how much damage does making this bag do to the environment, versus the damage a year’s worth of plastic bags from the grocery store do to the environment?

Is it cheaper to shop online as opposed to shopping in the store?

April 1st, 2009
MRS EDWARD NORTON asked:


I’m talking about clothing stores:
AE
Urban Outfitters
Nordstrom’s

Is it cheaper to shop online with those stores?
I know that phone shopping is, they always have an “online discount”
Does it work out the same way? Does shipping and handling Just add up to even more?

How hard can it be for a grocery store to pick up an abandoned shopping cart?

March 30th, 2009
periwinkle135 asked:


I’ve made two calls already to a local Kroger. A shopping cart was left directly across the street in front of my house and it’s just an eyesore. It’s bad enough there’s a grown up empty lot that the City doesn’t do anything about, but now people think they can just dump shopping carts there when they’re finished with them and I can’t get Kroger to come out and collect. Heavy trash is coming up, can I put it out to be picked up by them?

What to look for when shopping around for home equity loans?

March 28th, 2009
27amDotCom asked:


Any advice on what to look for when shopping around for home equity loans?

Are there referral commissions?

I have a couple of individuals looking for a home equity loan … I told them I’d look into it for them. I’d like to find a quality vendor, but if referrals commissions are paid out, I’d like to negotiate for that too.

How do I figure out what is a “great deal”?

PS. I’ll happily take general replies but this would be specific to Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
