I'm non-motorized, so I not only need bags (currently boxes, as noted
elsewhere) but need exactly two of them (having exactly two arms to
tote them with), which affects how much I can buy at one time.

This is the truth! I try to make it a point to walk to the store and walk
back with the bags for the exercise aspect.

I call it "micro-exercise" by which I mean all the small physical things
in life, that adds to our calory burn such as:

1. Walking to the store.
2. Carrying groceries.
3. Walking back.
4. Taking the stairs.
5. Walking to business meetings (if they are a maximum of 20-25 minutes
away).

It is my firm belief that this has a positive effect on my health. It is
also my firm belief, that calling home food, using electric
bikes/scooters, taking the elevator, in the aggregate detracts from ones
health.
For a while, you /must/ have a special time (and special clothes) and
spend at least X hours a week for it to count.
Then, when it becomes apparent that that message merely discourages
people, we get minimum daily step counts, with no special stuff
needed.
Finally, the number of steps required to count decreases and we reach
the attitude we appear to share: everyday activity works. Or at least
helps.
Interestingly, I rarely see diet mentioned in those articles. Have the
Gurus of Health given up on getting people to eat sensibly and so
become fully focused on exercise? At least they tend to stress
cardiovascular exercise rather than calisthenics.
