I only grocery shop on my way hoome from work because I live 30 minutes from the nearest grocery store. I only use my reuseable totes when I shop and I use EverFresh disks in my crispers to keep fruits and veggies fresh longer. I pack my lunch every day instead of driving on my lunch hour at work and I use reuseable packaging for all my lunch items, no baggies! I do not buy bottled water, we use a Britta filtration system and stainless steel water bottles. I have not gone through a drive through in ages and I do shop online a good bit, but this can be difficult for clothing purchases.
Another thing we do to try to reduce shipping of produce, is instead of buying from the chain grocery, I stop at at road side market on the way home for local grown produce when available.
