I have been shopping with my feet for years. And Ryan's comment regarding walking home with supermarket purchases being a great way to keep from overspending - absolutely. I am always working from a list, and I by now have a very good idea of just how much will fit into my oversized backpack. So I make decisions throughout my shopping as to what weighs too much, what is unnecessary this trip, what is not a healthy choice for me, what I can wait to buy until it goes on sale, etc. So many good points to this method of shopping, not least being the excellent weight-bearing exercise it provides. Plus you get to see what's going on all around you in your neighborhood. Keeps you on your toes [no pun intended]. Well done, moneyning. I have been shopping with my feet for years.

I happened to stumble on this blog for the first time today. I work at Rails-to-Trails Conservancy, where we've launched a "Burn Calories, Not Carbon." (TM) pledge. It's a great way to make a statement about more walking and biking. Thanks for the blog post. Great to see the support for walking. I happened to stumble on this blog for the first time today.

My late husband and I used to take a drive on a country road from time to time, then get out and walk to pick berries or wild greens. Those were some precious times for conversations and just being together. That’s a wonderful story.
