Unfortunately there's no delivery service in my area, so I drive the 3
blocks to the store every other week.

You'd have to go to the store every day or two if you were carrying food
back.

I manage perfectly well with using the bus and doing a shop at the
weekend only. I happily lug my bags to the stop, catch the bus and then
walk the last bit to my home. I accept it wouldn't be practical for a
huge family shop and only 1 person doing the shopping but I am amazed at
the extent to which people are seemingly unable to go food shopping
without a car. It's a fantastic illusion that the motor industry and
supermarkets have generated to perpetuate each others' trade.

The only food stuff I buy during the week is milk and possibly a treat
or something that I need to get for a particular meal.
