Default Shopping in the Lakes Region

Amazon Prime account.... two day delivery and $4.99 for overnight... I shop there a lot for things I don't have to touch and feel.

Home Goods anywhere .... I call that destination shopping... I browse a lot, looking for the one thing I can't live without! Great for bedding, dishes and my tablecloth fettish.

Hunter's IGA is all about the service... and they have a lot of choices for a small store.

Tilton outlets are twice a year, necessities for low cost. The Eddie Bauer outlet is always fun.

BJs (Tilton) and Costco (Nashua) for the quantities of stuff like paper towels, frozen foods, Ghiradelli brownie mix, etc. I go to one of them about every six weeks.

I have an iPod in my car with a good book loaded for the longer drives.....

I imagine living year 'round in Wolfeboro is something like our island living. Once you get the planning and provisioning down, the rest is easy. I just make sure I won't run out of anything by having enough on hand and keeping a list going.

When I first came to the area I was in shock that a resort town shut down by 5:30 pm. I was used to places like Martha's Vineyard where all the little shops were open until 9 because people went to the beach during the day.

Good Luck in your endeavors.
