Literally 45 seconds BUT I can’t walk it (too dangerous due to pedestrian-unfriendly infrastructure).
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.
5 grocery stores within three miles. Two of them are next door to each other with another kitty corner.
I walk 3 minutes. Living in a city is the best. If only there were more trains :(
Real nice international grocery store 5 min drive or 30 min walk. Would be shorter walk but as other have said the pedestrian safe path isn't direct.
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.
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 walk one block. In the past, I sometimes walked up to three.
1.8 miles.
I drive it.
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.
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.
Before I moved out for college 22 minutes by car each way.
For the last 7 years? The grocery order shows up at my door, about 6 mins from the store.
It's about a five minute drive to the nearest grocery store which is the cheaper one and about fifteen minutes to the more expensive one.
The cheaper one is an area with a higher crime rate and there have been a decent number of thefts out of cars in the parking lot there. I usually try go avoid going there but it's open later and sometimes I need to get something after work when the nicer one is closed.
Ehhhh, depends. For the basics, not far, maybe ten minutes.
But if we want something less universal, about half an hour, depending on traffic.
We have a local grocer, been family owned for something like eighty years or so. But their building is the same building too, so they have to pick what they stock carefully. Like, saffron as an example. It's expensive, and not in high demand, so they never keep it in. They'll order some, if you ask and have a decent track record of not engaging in fuckery, but it's going to be a few days before it gets there.
But, canned goods, dried staples, frozen veggies, basic meats, that kind of thing, they have. Selection isn't huge, but you can get by without failing to have all the nutrients you need.
If you want more than the same dozen or so produce options though, you gotta go the chain grocery on the other side of town. Well, there is another chain store too, but they essentially have the same stuff as the local one does, with maybe a better freezer section. So if you're going that far, you might as well drive a little more and have a better selection of everything.
It's actually a really nice situation. We can get local grown produce almost the whole year from the grocer, or the farmer's market (which is still about a fifteen minute drive), and only need to cross town when I'm cooking fancy.
However , you gotta take into account that speed limits through parts of town are 25 mph, so it takes longer than it might in other places.
10 minutes, 3.7 miles.
There are 3 grocery stores withing 5 min drive.
For a big Costco trip, 20-30 mins. For a quick grocery run, about 10.
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.
