Rainbow Run

Living in an apartment, we are really starting to feel the pain of not having a grocery store near or on campus. There are a few within decent biking distance 1/2 miles, but by the time I am done with work and class and would have time to run to the grocery store it is much too late and getting dark and not safe or feasible to take the time to go get groceries with the terrifying amounts of work I need to get done. So naturally, I decide to go in the morning. Before work at 8am. So, I awake at 5:30 AM, leave by 6, bike two miles to the Rainbow two miles north, and arrive by around 6:15. I have to closely adhere to my list and keep in mind that I have to carry everything myself on my bike back. I have come prepared with my backpack and a couple reusable bags to carry my groceries in but I really don't want to have to use the reusable bags. Because that is just annoying to carry on a bike handle. My grocery list includes, milk, bread, sandwich meat, raisins, broccoli and almonds. So nothing too out of the ordinary. I was able to fit most of my purchases in my backpack, but decided to keep the bread out and carry it in a reusable bag to make sure it would not get squished. I had cut a few rainbow coupons out of the flyer they sent us and so was able to save some money that way, in addition to taking advantage of a few sales they had on certain products I was interested in, so score. Overall this wasn't a bad experience, but it was slightly inconvenient.
