Honestly, it just feels like a matter of time before we’re gonna see tractor sized vehicles around in cities and people are still gonna say they NEED them for groceries. Yet when I actually visited America and we went grocery shopping with a pickup the size of my room back home, I got the experience of having shopping bags on my lap in the passage seat for the first time ever. Like where else you gonna put it? The trunk? The back seats??? Oh you jokester! There’s like legit no space inside these things.
I can’t tell you how much happier I was to move to a neighborhood in the city where the grocery store was a 5 min walk away. I always see old ladies with a wheelie cart walking home from the store. And one day I said Fuck it I’m getting an old lady cart! And it’s the best! I can comfortably buy more groceries and walk them home. Only time I ever need to bring the car is if we’re buying cases of beer or something else large.
Walking to the groccery store is my weekly routine that gives me peace. Even if its completely miserable weather wise i always feel better after the walk. I tend to buy less junk too as I have to carry every ounce home, which also helps ensure I don’t let food go off. I have a lot more respect for my food and my effort now that I walk to get my grocceries.
