If I happen to go to WalMart for something I may consider picking up a 
bottle of ketchup or peanut butter if I needed it.  Won't touch there 
meats and produce.

I don't miss it.  My last house was a raised ranch, two levels.  While 
not below ground, the bottom level had about a third of the area for 
heating system, oil tank, laundry, storage space, typical basement type 
stuff.

I do have a two car garage.  Like most houses here with them, one car 
fits comfortably with the other "stuff" in there.  Water table too high 
here to dig an 8 ft deep hole.
