A lot of people say that they need to use a car to do grocery shopping. This is normally because they want to do one big shop for 1-2 weeks worth of food in one go.
However, it would be totally possible to shop by bike instead, if they were willing to modify their shopping habits.
Instead of doing one big shop, they could do a series of smaller shops for 1-3 days of food during the week. This has the advantages of:
- Not having to plan ahead for as many meals
- Being able to change meal plans more easily
- Being able to eat more fresh produce
- Not having as much food waste
