    Yes, I’d like to be able to keep a longer run of groceries on hand. I’d like to be able.to wash curtains or duvets. I’d like to be able to easily cook the main course of a popular holiday.

    I have a 20 minute drive to a grocery that has everything I need, so I want to do it less frequently. I use my duvet every night so it needs to be cleaned weekly.

    Appliances are to do things. I want to do more things more easily.

    Fridges store food. I don’t want my appetite to dictate the size of my fridge, but the freshness of vegetables and such.

    Washing machines wash things. I want to be able to wash all the things I regularly use without any loss of performance.

    You can’t tell me, that all things being equal, you’d prefer a smaller washer. Or that you want to think / guess about the available space in your fridge if you’re at the store and looking at a purchase at the grocery. “Hmm I want this for a meal, but I don’t think I have space for it” is not and ideal statement.

      That’s the problem - I only have to walk 5 minutes for my groceries. There’s really no need to stock up on anything.

        But then you are dependant on an errand several times per week

          Do you just sit at home all the time? I just go to the shop when I’m returning home - pop in for a few minutes and continue on my way. Errands, lol.

            I always found the concept of spending a day running errands weird and see many TV shows mention this. I guess it’s a 20 minute drive to everything.
