We generally shop at Giant Foods because we like the selection. Ever since the pandemic we started ordering our groceries online through the Giant Foods app. This process has stuck with us because it saves us so much time. Normally a grocery shopping trip for a family of four takes us roughly 2 hours from start to finish. This includes driving, shopping, paying, loading, and finally unloading. Using the app it takes us minutes and then time to unload when the delivery arrives. The time we save we put, financially, towards the tip for the driver.
We could never tell if we were doing worse or better with the plastic bag situation. In some cases we ended up getting more bags which was frustrating. The online delivery would give us a single bag for an onion, as an example. Recently though the deliveries started showing up with compost-able bags! At first I assumed them to be the "industrial compost" only bags which means they go into our recycling and probably get thrown out. However these bags were different, they had stated they were compost friendly for home composts!
I have taken these bags and mixed them with my compost pile and will continue to track the efforts here to see how well they do.
