Abroad, even young people walk around with shopping bags on wheels quite regularly, it is only a matter of time before it becomes widespread in the Czech Republic as well. Be one of the first to come up with this trend.

2. Take shopping as a sporting activity

Have you ever tracked how many steps you take while shopping? You can find quite a few thousand in supermarkets, so consider this duty also as a sporting activity. Try measuring your steps on your watch or in an app on your phone and make shopping a sporting challenge.

3. At home, unpack and straighten things nicely

The unpleasant task isn’t finished even when you get home. Then comes the endless unpacking. You have to take every single thing out of the shopping bag and put it in the right place. And which one is correct? Get some for your pantry or kitchen cupboard orga­nizéry, then one poem will be unpacked for you, because you will immediately see what belongs where. Organizers also help you keep track of what you still have at home and what needs to be bought.

It should be written in such a way that the things contained in it go in order according to how you go through the store.

You’ll just have to look around you more carefully, because you’ll lose one of your senses – hearing.
