Quick and easy shopping

Not too often

I get my groceries once a week. Fruits, veggies, and berries: some have to be consumed immediately, others last longer than a week, some fruits even need a few days to ripen before I can eat them.

Since the farmers’ markets are usually held once a week, I try to do my weekly shopping that day and go to the organic store after the market. Without a car, weekly shopping does not work so well. I always take a rental car at least for the trip back or a taxi/uber.

Time saver

Shopping is much easier and faster with a shopping list. In my shopping cart, I always have some empty fruit boxes. I use them for organizing and stacking while selecting the produce. It eliminates a need for bags and transferring the produce into the car only takes seconds.
