Since I can walk there a few times a week, I tend to buy less grocceries at a time. The weight limit helps me budget for the week by preventing me from buying more than I need.

That sounds like a solution, and I'm glad you found it and it works for you, but walking and purchasing multiple times a week instead of once every two weeks is a much larger time commitment. This also really only works if you are buying for yourself and no one else.

You need to rethink how cities are designed for walking to grocery stores to work. It won't in the US, because everything is designed for cars. But if a city is designed right, you won't need to go miles before finding a grocery store. You can take a cargo bike to haul more things at a time. You can stop by shops on your way home from work to pick up a couple things and stick them in a backpack.

Cities designed correctly reduce the burden on those walking or biking between points of interest that are no more than 1 or 2 miles away.

How do you manage to keep produce fresh for 2 whole weeks?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

A fridge, and the help of a roommate that also doesn't mind things that aren't "fresh" by the time we use them.

That’s sounds like an even a bigger pain in the ass lol

What sounds like a bigger pain in the ass to me is catastrophic global climate collapse. But any slight inconvenience is impossible to overcome for the most horribly lazy I guess.
