And I invested in a larger collapsable tote that fits in my trunk and can bear the weight of many things. It has straps that I can toss over my shoulder. And the clothe bags that many stores sell on site can fit three to four plastic bags worth of goods. I have filtered water so no need for cases or jugs of that. I live on the top floor of an apartment building, necessity is the mother of invention.
Immediately after my divorce I was without a car but lived on the bottom floor so I can also relate to that struggle. But even with a vehicle...or even with delivery...there's still multiple flights of stairs.
Sorry to hear about the dropped bottle   |
Is Shipt not available in your area?
Grocery Delivery - Shipt
You use it to buy from grocery stores. You pay online and buy from the same selection that's in the store including fresh foods and a driver drops the stuff off at your place within the hour. Membership is rather hefty ($99 per year or $49 per year with student discount) but it seems so worth it at this point.
Honestly tho I would say if the stores that Shipt works with in your area doesn't have the brands your kids want make them use an alternative brand. Tell them to either eat that brand or go hungry. That's how I was raised and that's how I would raise a kid in the very unlikely event I had kids.
