In a walkable area, you don’t buy for a week at a time, you buy what you need for a meal or two. Popping into the store is a pleasant, 10-minute diversion where you’re likely to see friends and neighbors, not a 2-hour safari overland to the edge of nowhere. It means buying fresh, healthy food, rather than the giant pallets of highly-processed product that I see folks haul out of the CostCo.
Okay, sure … but on that note … what kind of maniac would put all those fresh fruits and vegetables all just piled together inside, with no packaging at all to keep them separate/intact and then add a baguette in there as well, just stuffed in among the vegetables? And, somehow, the worst part is that they have 4 red peppers, and the peppers aren’t even all in the same general area, they’re just tossed in there randomly…
Also depending on how much shit you need to transport.
Even if there was a store within walking distance, I wouldn’t fancy walking with a week’s worth of groceries.
