My wife is making potato salad for church potluck. Shs asked me to go the store for celery. My store is just at one mile away. years ago it would be 5 miles. How far do you go for groceries? Stan
 
I live in the country now, so about 5 miles. I moved here 4 yrs ago, before that I lived in town so store was maybe 1/4 mile. I like it here.

Depends on what I need. For what you went for it is about 8-10 miles. But can goods and other such I can get at dollar general which is about 4 miles one way. But depending on the time of year it might just be a walk out to the garden
 
About 10 miles one way. That would be gas,bank,drug store,and food. Also local farm store ace hardware and NAPA. joe
 
18 miles between my 2 properties. Go through town. I do many multiple is I go to my other place.

Tomorrow is Kroger's for food, gas and then mow yard at other place.
38 miles round trip
. Drive slow average 30 plus mpg with Cadillac.

With a buck off a gallon it may cost me $5 to $6. Time it right I'll grab a sandwich too

Nothing is out of the way.
 
Gas station is 2.5 miles away and grocery store is 6.5 miles. We used to live in town and were about 1 mile from the store. I much prefer living in the country and driving farther to the store.
 
Closest grocery store for is about 15 miles. But its pretty small. Were about 40 miles from the big store,restaurants and such. Closest gas is 8 miles. Id much rather drive a little and be out here than live in town.
 
Gas station 5 minutes away sells a lot , but is expensive. Grocery is a little over 10 minutes away. Still expensive. Wife goes to cheaper places 30 minutes away.
 
Nice little grocery store with fresh meat , vegetables and a bake shop/deli only 4 mile drive. We used to have similar grocery store in our village only a mile from my house. While it is more of a variety store now, that sells beer and liquor. We have very large grocery stores with 25 miles, several to choose from including a Walmart.
 
25 miles to Cortez and 10 miles to Dove Creek. Superette in D/C has so so produce so buyer beware. Sometimes better to do without thsn buy.
 
I spent 19 years in a remote town of FARO Yukon Canada. When we went to get groceries It was a 2 hour and 10 minutes drive, One way. Up there you didn't go by miles, you went by hours and minutes. I'd guess it to be 110 miles.
 
Don't get me wrong. In my 21 mile commute to work I pass no less that five Dollar General stores.
 
We seem to have put ourselves away from anything nearby. Takes us 40 minutes under PERFECT conditions to get to the town we shop in. It's almost a dot on the map -- or maybe a speck of fly poop. Wintertime can take an hour or more.
 
Store right in town, maybe mile or so , but, I would tell wife to leave the CELERY out of my salad.
 
We have a Kroger grocery store about four miles away; before that we had to drive seven or eight miles. But when you get out west, it's not uncommon for folks to drive ninety miles to the nearest Walmart.
 
10 miles North to Walmart, 17 miles east to Kroger, or 14 miles south to Meijer. Meat and produce is better quality at Meijer and Kroger.
 
When We Moved here 48 years ago there were 6 big grocery stores and a couple mom & pop stores in a town of around 14,000 we are 2 miles east of town. Now all are closed except 1 Kroger south of town and Walmart south of town also. They closed a Kroger on our side of Town about 4 years ago it was always crowded, said Kroger said it didn't have enough business? Now its 10 miles to the grocery and Walmart, Kroger is always packed, hard to get cart through, narrow aisles. The Mayor lives south of Town.
 
12 miles to grocery shopping, farm store, Walmart, or car parts. 30 to a box home improvement store.

Here in south-central Minnesota, everything is within four to six miles of my seven acres -- not only several grocery stores but also Home Depot, Menards, Tractor Supply, Bomgaars, Walmart, Target (I never shop there), multiple QuikTrips, Mayo medical facilities, just about anything I could reasonably need.

I've often half-way joked that if I were to get locked inside Menards, I could live there for the rest of my life as long as shelves were restocked -- there's lots of groceries, OTC medications, clothing from jeans to shirts to socks and underwear -- no need to ever leave. Even wildlife (well, sparrows who come in for spilled bird seed).

With gasoline today (Sunday) at a record national average $5.01 (and about $4.74 or higher here), I'm glad to not have to drive too far to get what I need. Still, having grown up in wide-open flat country in north-central Iowa, I confess to sometimes envying folks who live farther out in the countryside. (I'm too old and lazy to move at this point.)
 
5-7 miles for grocery/Walmart/Menards/Runnings and what is left of downtown.

As someone said, pretty much could live out of a Menards.
