I'm shocked the percent is that high for wanting to walk to get groceries.

I guess if you live next door you'd go more often, but we go once a week and leave with 5 or 6 bags. (We could easily walk there, it's less than a mile, right by the lake we walk around often.)

You never just run out of milk or eggs or somethin' in the middle of the week? -- nm - con_carne Apr 13, 08:05
I walk there all the time, but it's easy since I only buy for me. -- nm - loosilu Apr 13, 08:03
we live walking distance to a grocery store, easily, but can't walk there. it's silly and frustrating -- nm - prayformojo Apr 13, 08:02
If groceries are walkable, you can go more often and buy less at a time. - ty97 Apr 13, 08:02 1

  - what you do is, drop off the laundry (fluff and fold), then get groceries on the way home. -- nm - loosilu Apr 13, 08:04
- We live even closer to a laundromat, but we have our own laundry room ... Heh -- nm - Beryllium Apr 13, 08:02
