Walking vs. Driving

May 22nd, 2022 at 01:51 pm

I forgot to add garlic to my shopping list when I picked up groceries from Wal*mart yesterday, so I grabbed my keys and walked to Publix. 

 

I needed to go to the bank as well and it’s in the same plaza so it worked out. 

 

The walk is about two miles total/round trip. I’m so happy to have done this, one it keeps me on track with my walking/exercise routine, and secondly I’m saving on gas. 

 

Wal*mart is a bit too far to walk, about 3 miles total. I tried that walk last week and was exhausted. I’ll walk to Publix if I have one or two items to pick up or if I need to go to the bank. This should help with gas. Now that I think about it, I have a Wal*mart grocery center that is much closer than their super center. That’s about a mile each way, I’ll go there instead. 

i like the idea of walking vs. driving. I've been considering doing this for quite some time and now I'm finally doing it.

    It's really nice to be in walking distance of a Publix! You can get just about anything there. Wish we had them up north.

    It sounds like a win win...you save on gas and you exercise! Good for you!

    I live in the city and have never had a car here - I walk most everywhere.

    For shopping, I am limited to how much I can carry, although pre pandemic, once a month I walked to the supermarket once a month, did a ‘big shop’ and took a taxi home.

    Now, I order non perishables from Walmart and Target - they have free delivery if you spend $35. I buy canned veggies, soup, crackers, salad dressing, flour, sugar, pasta sauce…stuff I can watch for good prices and it keeps. Because of where I live, the online prices are usually better than store prices. The delivery comes in a couple days.
