All good points, especially the last one.

The last place I lived there were two major supermarkets within walking distance and another within biking distance.

Not having a bike trailer, I found that about four bags of groceries was the limit for me on a bike and realistically about two or three bags for the ten minute walk home (milk being one).

There were times when we would make the big shop that supermarkets are best for, filling the oversized cart with four hundred bucks worth of supermarket goodies. But this is a car job unless you have a pretty big trailer.

I actually like that I have to make several trips per week to get groceries. To me it justifies going to several small stores even though it's technically 'less convenient'. I guess you could say it forces me to walk (which is a bit lame, I suppose, but it works!).

There's a No-Frills two blocks from our home but we take the car there if we're doing a big restocking or chasing a sale strictly due to the weight, and volume, of the groceries.
