Grocery shopping is a miserable task and at 65, stuff is starting to get "heavy".

I decided to look at it differently...

Shopping is now daily exercise"...very safe...small loads to carry and a bit of fresh air.

The store is bout a mile away...closer than our local "Y" or Senior Center.

Bonus...People always let someone with two items "cut".

It is a hateful chore because of how many times you have to handle the groceries that you buy. You take it off the shelf and put it in your basket. You take it out of the basket and put in on the check out counter. You put the darn groceries back in you grocery sacks and back into the cart. You put the grocery sacks into your car. You take the grocery sacks out of your car into your house. Then you have to take the crap out of the bags and put in storage.

That’s a great way to look at it - healthy in many ways. I will look forward to when I can do this - in school now so no time.
