We grocery shop four to five times a week. Most of those are by bike to Aldi. Aldi prices are the same nationwide except the fresh items, mainly dairy. Aldi also owns Trader Joe's which explains why they do not price gouge either. No reason to pay inflated Villages food prices.

We don't have a storage issue but admittedly our kitchen is pretty large, we have drawers that are empty.

Some how having a destination/purpose makes the exercise seem more meaningful. It is 18 miles RT by bike. Aldi on 466a is slightly 'off campus' so the cart is out.

We eat out once to twice a week.
