I buy groceries 5-7 times a week. I buy things pretty by-need, for the next thing I'm cooking.

I can walk to my local $KROGER or drive 1min (which I do when I'm buying more than I want to carry.)

I assume they get to the store the same way they get to the stores in the cities. On trucks. A lot of what I buy (meat and produce) is grown in the state I live in. So I can make a 6-serving chicken and orzo dish for under $15 easily, for instance. I got it down to $10 when the meat is BOGO too.
