Huh, I've been living like this for so long that I'd forgotten most people do the once-a-week blowout shopping spree. Having lived in Europe, one of the perks was that you invariably had local groceries, bakeries, and butchers seemingly on every street corner. Berkeley is kind of like that for me now: fresh bread, sausage, and local veggies only a 20 minute walk from home. Can't imagine living any other way!
- nkrisc 10y agoPersonally, I think it's the better way to live. For many people in the U.S., at least, it's probably hard to live that way. Some places are way to spread out for that.
- personlurking 10y agoFor sure. I've grew up around Berkeley and now I'm in Europe. Both places (at least where I am now) are walkable which surely helps when making small runs to the market/bakery/etc.
