We walk to the local grocery sometimes if just after one or two things, and we walk to the Farmer’s Market because parking is a pain and it’s a 5 minute walk. Plus, you see neighbors when you walk.

My family has the opposite problem. The nearest convenience store is 7 miles away, and out of the way for us. “On the way to town” (Wal Mart, etc.) is a convenience store 10 miles away, and a meat market (mostly bulk) 7.4 miles away. Aldi is 13 miles away and Wally World another half mile past that. The closest (smallish) “real grocery store” is 10 miles away and even more out of the way than that closest convenience store. :-(

Maybe if I had a motor scooter for good weather?

OTOH, I can walk out to our garden, part of the year. :-)
