We grocery shop when we need something. Mainly shop at the nearest Publix which is 7 minutes by golf cart or at the Walmart Neighborhood Market near colony which is 16 minutes by golf cart, or at the nearest Winn-Dixie which is 25 minutes by golf cart. Some weeks we may go a couple of times, and some weeks more than that. We don't shop for and buy in bulk. We almost always go to these three stores by golf cart unless it is raining or forecast to do so. We occasionally shop at Sam's Club, go by auto since we can not get there by golf cart. We occasionally shop at the Walmart Superstore on 466 and usually go by auto since it is a 44 minute golf cart trip. But if the weather is nice and we don't have anything else planned, and if we are not buying frozen items, we have driven there and back by golf cart.

We have eaten mostly at home for the past year. We either cook at home or bring carry out back home. We get carry out a couple times per week. We have eaten indoors at a restaurant only three times in the past year. Once Covid is "controlled" to our satisfaction, we will begin eating indoors at restaurants again probably two or three times per week. Again we go by golf cart unless the weather precludes it or the trip by golf cart exceeds 35 minutes each way. Most of our trips within the Villages are by golf cart.
