The Cost of Cutting Corners

The story is it's always ideal to cut corners. We had been wanting to plant trees in our backyard to hide a grotesque cinderblock wall that borders our yard. They're extremely expensive to get them from an actual nursery would have been about $400 a tree. So we decided to cut out the middleman, not get them at the nursery, which would have been easier because they deliver them. Instead, we got to pick them up at Costco.
