• How else do you do a weekly shop with a baby? 4 miles each way (2.5 each way on a bike I think). We could go to a more local supermarket but they’re smaller and more expensive, or go the nearer Waitrose, which would really be an expensive way to shop.

    Might be doable with a cargo bike, but would need to be electric if my wife wanted to stand a chance getting around Leeds’ hills.

    Buy big things you know you'll need weekly online. Then walk with the buggy to pick up smaller things as and when through the week. Also good for exercise.

    On the smaller shops, actually you'd be surprised at how much less you spend when you're not bombarded with all the offers and encouraged to buy extra.

  • Yeah, we’ve not quite cracked online shopping yet tbh. Seems like another layer of admin, but I guess deliveries are a more efficient way of doing it.
    But I’ll be honest, once winter comes, I can’t see us giving up our reliance on a small car.

    This. And not having to buy an EV, cover the depreciation, the insurance and the rest should cover an awful lot of extra shopping bills.
