4: Could you shop without driving a car?
5: If you could have one store within easy walking distance, what would it be?
My answers:
1: How far away is your nearest grocery store? There is a latin specialty market about half-a-mile away, for a general supermarket about 2 miles as the streets wind around.
2: How often do you go grocery shopping? About once a week, I would like to buy less and go more often.
3: How do you get to the store and back? We drive, though the condo does provide bus service a couple of days a week.
4: Could you shop without driving a car? Limited shopping yes, there are three stores that are options, two of them are near metro stations.
5: If you could have one store within easy walking distance, what would it be? I know they are expensive, but Whole Foods, if they would build a store in place of the falling down parking garage at the metro station life would be easy.
Please share your answers in the comments.

How far away is your nearest grocery store? About two blocks.
ReplyDeleteHow often do you go grocery shopping? About 3-4 times a week. I tend to buy meats, veggies, and fruit when I plan to eat it.
How do you get to the store and back? Drive or walk, depending what market I'm using.
Could you shop without driving a car? Yes.
If you could have one store within easy walking distance, what would it be? I wish the Trader Joe's was within walking distance.
1: How far away is your nearest grocery store? Just over 1/4 mile for the low end; about 3/4 mile for Target (but I'm boycotting), and there is a great old neighborhood market about a mile away. But I don't use any of these on a regular basis (see #3 & $ below).
ReplyDelete2: How often do you go grocery shopping? One big run each week and then filling in with odds and ends or forgotten items once or so as needed.
3: How do you get to the store and back? Typically drive - on my way back from the gym.
4: Could you shop without driving a car? Yes. As noted above there are 3 options within walking distance and two other options that I actually use regularly on a bus line. See #3 above - I leave for the gym at 5:30AM+/- and the bus line by my house doesn't start running until about 6:30AM.
5: If you could have one store within easy walking distance, what would it be - My local food COOP or Sprouts.
