It freaks me a little bit how on-demand most people seem to do their grocery shopping, but I have to attribute that to my atypical rural upbringing. When it is a 30-40 mile round trip to the grocery store, you become accustomed to doing all the shopping for the week at once, and whipping something up with what is on hand during the week. Also that it seems like nobody has more than about three days of food in their pantry. My mother still puts up hundreds of quarts of canned vegetables every summer out of the garden, freezes enough other stuff to fill an entire full-size freezer, then they buy half a beef-creature from the farmer down the hill to fill the other freezer. And usually a couple hundred pounds of potatoes. There's probably enough food to keep them alive for two years.
