My Electric Scooter has Changed My Attitude to Shopping
A few months ago I invested in a Fonzerelli motor scooter. I wanted to move away from fossil fuels...but it's had more benefits to my budget than I expected! The first benefit was that it only cost $1 a week to run on electricity...free if I charge at my mums with her solar panels. The second was that, because I only have a small amount of room to bring groceries home, I can only buy what is necessary to feed my family...I've slashed my usual spend in half!!!
It started me thinking...the space I have to bring things home is equivalent to two and a half reusable shopping bags from Coles or Woolies. What if we all shopped using the bag system? If it doesn't fit in the bag you can't buy it that shop. It forces you to only buy the needs, not wants.
Good luck Cheapskaters!
