@bikepedantic I need a car because its simply not possible to move a shopping cart of groceries by any other means
@bikepedantic The way prices are going, in a few months you'll be able to take home $175 worth of groceries in a single pannier.
@bikepedantic “and how am I going to enjoy my Dunkin on a bike?”
@bikepedantic Should've shopped at Market Basket, then you'd have to fit two extra bags if you want to spend that much 😉
@itamarst 0.6 miles vs 2.5 away
@bikepedantic @itamarst salmon also isn't 6.99/lb at market basket
@inliuofjoan @bikepedantic Right, but amortized cost. But also Market Basket on weekend has been described as a "mosh pit" so if you're shopping on weekends maybe not worth it.
@itamarst @inliuofjoan single dad, can order groceries online and have em picked by union workers, and pick them up five minutes away, I’m pretty comfortable with my grocery decisionmaking
@bikepedantic @itamarst whenever I stop by the local stop and shop, I'm always pleasantly surprised by the lower-than-expected prices. They just tend to be out of stock of things often, and that robot seems to follow me around.
@bikepedantic Sorry, didn't mean that as criticism, more like a way to enhance your cargo bike bragging even more.
@bikepedantic @inliuofjoan @itamarst union or not, the employees at my local S&S seem miserable compared to those at my local MB. The latter is also consistently 10-20% cheaper, with better selection and quality.
@bikepedantic @itamarst my local stop and shop didn't have salmon for 6.99, sad for me, though it was on sale. Totally went there to get some 😁
@bikepedantic it's also super cheap at star market right now
