Is that a lot? How many does a similarly positioned company buy, say Alphabet, Dell, or Cisco? Seems like every time I find a neat niche networking or security product I like, Cisco or someone ends up buying it. Context would’ve been helpful in this article.

- wlll 6y agoEveryone I know goes once a week. once every two weeks and you'd start to run out of fresh produce in week 2.

- presentation 6y agoI live in Japan and go around twice a week, some people go near everyday here. Small homes, small fridges and portions, convenient walkable neighborhoods, desire to eat fresh.
- stephencanon 6y agoI live in the US and go three times a week. We could go less often without any real inconvenience, but the store is right across the street from my daughter's day care, so it's an easy stop in our daily errands, and that way we don't need to worry about planning much in advance (and we always have fresh bread, fruit and veg, which is nice).
- biztos 6y agoInteresting. I was going once every three weeks to reduce Covid risk, household of two, normal American-sized fridge with freezer, cooking six nights a week. We would run out of vegetables during the third week, but it had the advantage that we ate all the veggies!
- wlll 6y agoWe get stuff delivered here. We use three of the major supermarkets. I prefer to choose my own veg, but in the current situation I'll accept not being able to.
- TimTheTinker 6y agoIn Europe, people generally have much smaller larders and refrigerators. There are more markets, they’re smaller, and people visit them more often — ideally almost every day for the freshest produce.
