    This is why I like living close to a grocery store. I make lots of small trips instead of a big one.

        That’s what my parents did growing up. They didn’t have a refrigerator and when they got one, it was super small.

        when i rode transit every day to work, that’s exactly what i used to do. i’d just stop on the way home, then pick up the next bus going my way.

      I shop once a week, and get everything I need for the week. One trip, twenty minutes in and out. No processed packaged foods, mostly fresh and frozen vegetables, fruit, and organic chicken (no antibiotics). Zero food waste, because even fresh vegetables will survive a week in the fridge. On the last day before shopping day, my fridge is virtually empty.

      I don’t like shopping, so I made it as efficient as I could.

        Yeah that works. Especially because you could do it once a week at a farmer’s market and get the really good stuff. I was doing that for a while.
