10 minute walk away from a supermarket only gets you so far when you spend an hour in one direction commuting since you probably go to work more often than you go grocery shopping.



Interestingly, daily grocery shopping is not uncommon in Japan. Probably down to supermarkets being close and kitchens being small.


I spent 3 hours grocery shopping today. I spend 3 hours total commuting to work every weekday.

I'd still be ecstatic if I can get food within a 30 minute walk. I went so far as to try to run a startup around this. It's possibly why there's so many food delivery startups; this is a big hit to quality of life.
