I walk 3 minutes. Living in a city is the best. If only there were more trains :(

It's roughly fifteen minutes to the grocery in town, but thirty to the one with twice the size and selection. Certain items we prefer to pick up in bulk at a store that's forty minutes away, but that trip happens maybe twice a month
I recently moved. At the old house, I was close enough to walk, but generally I drove because I bought for a week at a time for a family of four. We only moved a few miles away, but pretty much every grocery store is about 3 miles away. I'm on the edge of a city of about 70k people.
I can walk a few hundred feet to a "convenience store" to get very basic stuff but the actual grocery store is ~15 minute drive.
Like others mentioned I could easily walk or bike except that I'd probably get mowed down in the process, as there's no infrastructure.
Before I moved into a city, and I was living in a small suburb town, I'd have to go at least 26 miles away to the nearest affordable grocery store.
Now I can just go across the street and usually walk cuz I'm not getting more than 2 bags worth of stuff at a time.
I walk one block. In the past, I sometimes walked up to three.
I don’t drive usually. I walk to a small grocery store which is about 5 minutes away. If I need specialty items I can bike to a bigger supermarket in about 10 minutes.
12 minutes to get to Aldi, and when I'm done there, just a few more minutes to get to Giant for the things I don't get at Aldi.
10 minutes, 3.7 miles.
For a big Costco trip, 20-30 mins. For a quick grocery run, about 10.
5 grocery stores within three miles. Two of them are next door to each other with another kitty corner.
