Same here. I have had both at various houses and never had an issue with either. Spend a few minutes getting them in place, maybe put a little dirt around the outside to help initially hold it in place and they stay there.

What about purchasing online and having it shipped to the store for curbside pickup? Then you don't pay the shipping costs.
