Personally, I go to only 2 stores here. Each one is only 1 mile
away in different directions. Both have a good variety so I don't
bother going anywhere else. Local is Food Lion and Harris Teeter.
Also a very nice health food store only .25 miles away but I
rarely go there. Normally only for bulk spice.

BTW - "anywhere else" consists of 6-7 others store only 2 -2.5
miles west but I don't do that. I like grocery shopping but I
won't drive store to store to save a few pennies. My gas and my
time is worth not doing that.
All these other stores are all concentrated at one intersection
area with many shopping centers. There they have: Walmart,
Target, Aldi, Lidl, Kroger, Trader Joe's and Whole Foods. Always
so busy and crowded up there so I avoid it every chance I get.

I can see ordering food if you are ill or travel challenged. Even
some stores here will shop for you and deliver for a fee. That
could be handy sometimes.

Julie does all that....personal shopping and ordering online. I
do not understand that other than for fun and/or convenience.
