I don’t have a burr grinder yet, but I really would like uniform grinding.
Where are you buying whole coffee beans? Wherever you buy the beans, you should be able to grind them there too.
Use your blade grinder for the beans you have now. Find a coffee friend with a burr grinder and share some of your bean for "renting" the grinder. Check Craigslist for used burr grinders.
I see lots of issues with taking food back into a store that has been opened in someones house. I suspect there are health and safety codes that govern this type of activity. How does the store know you didn’t steal their coffee? How often do you plan on doing this?
Burr grinders are not too expensive. By the time you calculate your travel time to/from the store, the hassle you will get at each store you visit (you will have to change stores often because you will be banned from some stores), the possibility of jail time if the store manager reports you, the cost of a burr grinder is pretty cheap.
