Re: Reading materials and forward planning
In the UK I lived in a fairly rural area but still could get Tesco, Sainsbury and Ocado deliveries.

Re: Reading materials and forward planning
Although the coupons and "Just for You" can be checked before you go to the store, when everything is together and you have at least 12 hours to modify your shopping list and it is much easier when you want a lot of things. This weeks free item is a large DiGinoro pizza. During Thanksgiving, generally a turkey is free. Christmas is generally a free ham.
Even though I have a Safeway across the street, it is a small one that is about half the size of a normal Safeway so they deliver from the large stores where they have everything.

I definitely save money when I order online too, mainly because I'm more disciplined about what I buy. No impulsive flinging of extra bits and bobs into the cart!

Re: Reading materials and forward planning
We're off on Saturday.
Re driving you can get the drivers handbook from the DMV of the state you'll be living in. I got mine online as well as practice written tests.
I've told me gp and dentist.
We've kept our uk account but opened one in the us too. We're with HSBC who said we could open a us account through then. Total faff. Was much easier for hubby to walk into us bank!
Get an Amex credit card....it's the only one that you can use to start building up a us credit history. Nearer the time get a print of your uk experian...it's certainly helped us.
Congratulations!

Up top, US section.
Driving is easy, even a cabbage could pass. Just study the points for under age drinking and other points because most of the theory will be on that rather than driving. Practical, over emphasise looking over shoulder/mirror, don't speed, stop at stop sign and if it's staggered from the line or junction to stop at those too.
Banking, so many threads, but stick with something local, perhaps a credit union. Use something like XE.com t transfer money.

Check website after you know that, to see who's in network, then ring around all the PCP's (GP's), to see who is taking on new patients...visit a few to see who you like and then get a prescription and shop around for prices before filling it in.

The cops are probably just out to make quota on speeding tickets...tend to see them beginning/end of the month.
