Not a bad way to walk to Walmart. Won’t see a car until I get to the store parking lot.

I’m growing more envious of your lifestyle. Walking in nature, feeding ducks, watching your daughter play xP

Thank you. This is a very meaningful compliment for me because my lifestyle was purposefully crafted to be this way after 17 years of working 50-70 hours a week and not getting to spend much time in nature or with my family.

Definitely it is, truly amazing!
We also had one nearby but now there's a highway in place of that. However we have many such after 20kms into the Himalyas.

Awesome, that’s great you made such an intentional life change! You’ll never regret it!
I was in a similar situation and switched to fully remote with great flexibility and now bike with my two young sons to and from school daily!

Prior to our current house, I had always lived walking distance to either work or the grocery store. Walkability is going to be a big factor when/if we move again.

How long was the walk?
Are you one of those people who steal the cart and leave it in the ditch?
lol

20 sats \ 5 replies \ @grayruby OP 12 Sep
The walk is not too long. About 15 minutes each way.
And never. I don't even use carts when I go shopping. My wife does the main grocery shopping. I will just go and buy a few things we are short on. Today and I just bought some bananas and apples.

They started making carts lock up after leaving the area.
I dont know if they use them at your walmart?

No they don't lock the carts at my local walmart but when I lived in the city many grocery stores did that.

Aldi had a cool invention where you had to use a quarter to unlock one.
Most of the time the carts were returned.

Yes. I think a lot of places still use that style of cart. It was a loonie (one dollar coin) here in Canada.
Carts are a big expense for retail stores. I used to manage retail drug stores many years ago before I started my business and we used to have to spend thousands per year replacing carts.

Yeah, its stupid how much companies have to pay for theft.

Walking barefoot? Great time to get grounded

No I was wearing running shoes but I should give it a try. I walk barefoot at home all the time but never outside. I should try.

Yes. Only just above a third completed the previous one! So, we are heading towards a similar result.

How does the prize pool payout work? Does it just get split by whoever completed the challenge?
reply
50 sats \ 2 replies \ @Carresan 12 Sep
I explained in this post #635638
It worked quite straightforward. I think I had the number of people who completed the challenge wrong. 30 people completed the previous one.

I recall this post. It is why I downloaded the app and signed up. Just didn't recall the exact details. Pay out should be pretty nice. Currently only 33 participants can complete the task. Even if the app takes a cut we should at least double our buy in and I am assuming a few others will drop off in the next week.

The Walmart in my town isn't too bad especially if you don't go on the weekend. Not too busy, clean, well stocked. Not as nice as walking in nature but not a bad shopping experience.

I walk to walmart often. Its parking lot is like 12 steps from my apartment's side door. ;)
Bet I can carry more groceries home than you!

Probably considering the fact I usually just go to buy a few things. My wife does the main grocery shopping. I just go wander and pick things up when we are running low on stuff. Usually it is just one shopping bag.
