Grocery shopping is something only a select few enjoy. It’s tedious, tiresome, and takes a lot of time. Other than the snack aisle, there’s little to enjoy.
Thankfully, with online grocery shopping, you get items dropped at your door (in as little as 20-30 minutes with Bolt Market!)
So that gives you a spare 20 minutes while you wait for your groceries. Instead of aimlessly wandering supermarket aisles looking for coconut milk, you get to crack on with something productive!
It might not seem like it, but you can cram many productive things into 20 minutes. 102 things, in fact!
Read on as we list the activities perfect for filling this awkwardly small amount of time:
