4. buy in bulk direct fromthe supplier if possible (i did this recently with hair dye)
5. buy online
6. join a veg box scheme and have them delivered
7. Have a friend who goes to markets (bit easier for those who live near london/ports) and have them pick up stuff for you - we do this with meat and cheese.
