Bah, HN seems to have eaten my original response. Retyping... >do you have kids while living in a walkable city? I do although my collection is limited to a single 1 year old at this time. >Other days its simply that we haven't gone for a bit, and so it takes 3-4 arms to heft it back. Serious pain if you're out with the tykes and don't have your spouse/SO along. Shopping as a lone adult with children when you have extended your usual shopping schedule is always going to be painful no matter what. Going shopping with your car having not done it for a while is very definitely no picnic. Managing a child who isn't happy about how long this whole thing takes while you select, pack and eventually unpack your own body weight worth of groceries is not fun. Even if you aren't buying that much, as a lone adult juggling a baby and your groceries and getting all of them into the car while standing in a busy car park is an inherently unfun and often dangerous activity. Frankly the only non-unpleasant way to do a larger than usual shop alone but with children is to get it home delivered.
