That is what i ask.
I live about 3 km (1.8 miles) from a grocery store.
There used to be one that was much closer but it went out of business.

Six short blocks. It's probably not more than a quarter of a mile. I've got four within about a half mile, and then two more if you add another third of a mile to that. So six within a mile.

about 2 miles (2.5 tops) for the local grocery store.
although Wal-Mart is typically preferred due to better prices which the one I usually go to is about 16-17 miles away.

I live about 300 yards from a supermarket. It's very handy.

Re my six within a mile, two are small(ish). One of the smaller ones is Spanish-oriented, the other is kinda gourmet-oriented. Re the other four, one specializes in Asian items--though it's a HUGE store that has probably everything imaginable if you're looking for Asian stuff (including tons of imported items), and one is the grocery section of a Target. Only two are "normal grocery stores."
That's not including the ton of delis, mom & pop convenience stores etc. around me that have small grocery sections--there are probably 50 of those within a mile of me, without exaggerating. And it's not including drug stores and the like, which also have groceries. If you go another mile out, you get a bunch more grocery stores plus a Trader Joe's, which is the only one further out that I frequent.

I live in the city. It's convenient. There are like 3 supermarkets within a radius of less than 100 meters and a few smaler grocery stores. There are also several lifestyle and utility businesses like restaurants, brothels and drug stores etc.
You do not need a car to survive.

Obviously not where you live, mate.
But when you live in rural South Australia, having a car in a necessity.

There's a Walmart within walking distance, but Catman prefers the Hy-Vee 1.7 miles away.

Well that would depend on were you live. True if you live in the city you can do fine without a car. But if you live out in the country side far away from any city or town or village than you need a car. Or people who are willing do drive you. |

Yeah the location does make a difference. I live in a suburb in Melbourne and I have following within 5 mins walk:
3 supermarkets (Aldi, Woolworths and Coles)
Jetts gym Restaurants of 4 different ethnic cuisines (Thai, Vietnamese, Indian and Chinese)
KFC, Dominoes, Hungary Jacks, Nandos and smaller fast food shops and Kebab houses)
Tram line Other small utility shops and ethnic grocery stores (Sri Lankan, Chinese et al.)
But Aus is a huge country and I can understand how far supermarkets could be for those who live in rural areas.

Or people who are willing do drive you. that is what I was impliying, in most big cities you do not need a car, due to proximity and public transport. Going to work would take me ca 1h per car gross (including parking lot/completing ticket etc). Going per sub it's 25 minutes max.
On the country, that is a different story, one needs a bike, motorbike and/or car, or you are a lame duck.

I miss living in the state capital.
The last place I had before I returned to the country was about 2 kilometres from the local shopping centre.
Multiple supermarkets, department stores, hardware stores, video game stores, cheap shops, fast food outlets, petrol stations... It was absolute bliss.
