I get a 5% discount at my local grocery store on Tuesdays. (It's a chain, but they market local products as well as their own organic line of foods in recyclable packaging.) That is the ONLY day I shop. I save up my other stops and only use my vehicle once a week. If I run out of something, I do without until Tuesday. Likewise, if I forget something, I do without it for a week, and then you can be sure I won't forget it again!
Other than groceries, I don't buy much; I live on 50% of poverty line income. However, on the rare occasion that I buy something new, I never buy things that are packaged in molded styrofoam.
I NEVER use drive-through anything. Why do we even allow business to be conducted in such a lazy, wasteful way?
