You have it shipped to someone in another state and then have it mailed to you. This is what I do with almost everything I buy. 10% sales tax is nuts.

I need to make friends in Portland. This is a great idea

It might be worth it if you can take metra to Kenosha and hopefully there is a store within walking distance from the train station. The weekend pass is $7, cheaper than the tolls you would have to pay to get there.

Found a random engagement ring.

Hi all, so I found a platinum ring (which I assumed it's an engagement ring as it has dates and initials engraved on top.) And a Divvy tag (I have no idea what it was until I googled it. Apparently it's a bike sharing service in Chicago) in a briefcase I ordered online. I was thinking of returning the item back to the store but that wouldn't help the person who lost the ring. Attached is a picture of them.

What should I do now?
