I had a great experience at Costco, but only if you are being proactive, willing to wait a while between placing your order and getting the appointment for install.

Absolutely NOT the place to get AAA to drop your disabled vehicle at 3am hoping to get it back in service quickly.

That is what TFT would be good for, maybe even the best since they keep so much inventory nearby.

In New Milford Mavis is fantastic!

Only if you think human lives have great value.

I lived in Australia a long time, DUI is 0.05% and Every. Single. Car. got checked every weekend evening, to the point pubs ran minibusses to get their customers home at night.

Me personally? we need to lower the human population by 80-90% asap anyway so every bit helps...

App called Price Cruncher

shop at multiple places and compare

You learn where to go for what.

Aldi for your core basics, and don't turn up your nose at Walmart.

Pay attention to where the recent-immigrant and Latino shoppers go in your area, great produce values and you find interesting stuff. Asian groceries too!

For quality check out local small "gourmet" supermarkets, and they might surprise you

Sundown is a southern thing.

Kind of opposite for the poor mostly Black urban areas, many would not feel safe walking around after dark unless used to it.

The higher income residents all commute, smaller expensive towns, tend to be de facto segregated, but lots of money solves that, higher income educated people bend over backwards to not show racism.

Close to highways and train lines rents are higher. WFH changes everything of course

New York City is the economic center of the Gold Coast and train lines, closer to Greenwich higher the rents but lots more economic opportunities.

Jobs can be good in the Hartford area, has its own suburbs.

Northern counties and east of Hartford can be very limited, rural woods and hills, farming even, servicing wealthier weekenders and retirees homes landscaping. The uneducated lower class rural folk can be very Trumpista, guns anti BLM etc

The eastern coastal towns can be VERY nice but not as wealthy
