Local shoppers miss savings by leaving Franklin County
Franklin County residents flock out of town for deals, but gas, time, meals, and return trips erase savings. A Lawrence or Olathe trip adds about 26 in fuel and insurance, 17 in time, 55 for meals, totaling near 98 extra dollars. TV prices, furniture and electronics match local prices, yet service may cost more later. Local commerce remains hampered by out-of-county shopping habits.
