As readers and friends know, I walk everywhere. The grocery store is no exception.

I go to the store about twice a week. I can only carry so much, so I have to strategize what provisions I buy and haul home. For example, if I get a gallon of milk, then that's half the trip's purchase because I only have two hands. I mean, sometimes I can fit another bag into my hand, but it depends if my fingers feel well rested.

Last summer there came a day where I had all the rations I needed for the week, but I was craving watermelon. But hey, if I don't need anything else, I could totally just buy a watermelon and carry it home.

Bad idea.
