I don’t own a car. I do my shopping on foot or city bus. I shop locally as much as possible, but some things I just can’t get home on my own. Cases of water, etc. I can also buy larger quantities at a time, avoiding the single’s tax. I live on a steep hill. It’s all about what I can carry up it.

So I haven’t found an alternative yet.
