I go to both depending on sales. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-is-your-local-supermarket#post-44880 Mon, 02 Jan 2012 09:35:09 +0000 CameronsMomma 44880@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Loblaws is a twenty minute walk or a 3 minute bus ride, so it's pretty close. A kilometer I'd say. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-is-your-local-supermarket#post-44879 Mon, 02 Jan 2012 09:33:49 +0000 winniebee 44879@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a Whole Foods (we like to call it Whole Pay Check) right on our street - ie, a 2 minute walk. There's another grocery store (Star Market) about .5 miles away and I usually drive there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-is-your-local-supermarket#post-44872 Mon, 02 Jan 2012 09:20:37 +0000 yin 44872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There is a grocery store less than a mile away from my house, but I don't go there very often. I prefer to shop at Costco, Target, and Trader Joe's. The first two are 15-20 minutes away, and TJ's is 25-30 minutes away. It sounds like a far drive just for your basic groceries, but I enjoy the shopping experience, better foods, and better prices. I am lucky to live near a Chinese store and natural food store (although kinda pricey) -- both less than 10 minutes away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-is-your-local-supermarket#post-44827 Mon, 02 Jan 2012 01:19:27 +0000 mrsjyw 44827@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We live in a fastly growing suburb, and have access to every grocery store in MI! The fresh farmer's market is the furthest away and that is about a 20 minute drive on the highway. Everything else including places like Whole Foods is within a 5 - 10 minute drive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-is-your-local-supermarket#post-44296 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 18:19:24 +0000 carrieknitscake 44296@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a few options nearby. There's a produce market with some meats and veggies up the street. A walk and/or bus ride away is supermarket. I can hop on the El and get to an Aldi two stops away. There's also another produce market near my old apartment in our neighbor, but it's a bit of hike. I thought about going to the supermarket by bus or the longer walk produce market to get my grape fix today. I stayed at home and had mac and cheese instead.</p> <p>We can also drive to two other grocery stores: Strack &amp; Van Til or Mariano's. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-is-your-local-supermarket#post-44291 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 18:14:31 +0000 mynoahbear 44291@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There's a supermarket downstairs, ground level of our building. And of course, the convenience stores in Japan sell everything, and there's about five within a 2 minute walk from our building. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-is-your-local-supermarket#post-44263 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 17:03:02 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 44263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It is about two miles away. I love that it is so close. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-is-your-local-supermarket#post-44257 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 16:56:49 +0000 Mrs.VW 44257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our closet (to our house) is less than 3 minutes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-is-your-local-supermarket#post-44250 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 16:45:01 +0000 MegWag 44250@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our closest one is a 5-10 minute walk. It's really nice to be able to walk there, something I never would have done when I lived in the States! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-is-your-local-supermarket#post-44238 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 16:14:27 +0000 lemondrop 44238@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have 3 grocery stores within 1/2 mile of us, all within our neighborhood's square perimeter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-is-your-local-supermarket#post-44235 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 16:09:05 +0000 Mrs. Bee 44235@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a supermarket a block and a half away, and a gourmet/higher end market 4 blocks away. I go to both but I also order heavy groceries like milk from an online supermarket called Freshdirect every 2 weeks. Then I have to go into Manhattan to go to the Korean market -- it's 5 subway stops there and then I take a cab home.</p> <p>I go to the market a lot! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-is-your-local-supermarket#post-44222 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 15:23:31 +0000 tequiero21 44222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>waldbaums is like 2 miles away? but closest korean supermarket is like 15 miles away? - solid 20 minutes local. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-is-your-local-supermarket#post-44191 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 14:43:03 +0000 chopsuey 44191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NYCaliMama: WOW! So awesome that you have one downstairs!! I'd love to have groceries delivered.. :P But then I'd never leave my house. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-is-your-local-supermarket#post-44170 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 14:14:01 +0000 eeh 44170@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a small town grocery store that is about 2 minutes away that I only use in emergency cases because the prices are way higher and the quality kind of sucks (things are usually a day or two from expiration). My main grocery store is in a town about 15 minutes away. When we move in a few weeks the grocery store will be even further, about 20 minutes away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-is-your-local-supermarket#post-44166 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 14:07:24 +0000 eupenmalmody 44166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I buy the majority of our groceries online via peapod, so they get delivered! But, for the items I buy in store, we have 3 grocery stores within 1 block of our apartment (Gristedes, Westerly Market and Waverly), a whole foods 4 blocks away and a Food Emporium 6 blocks away. I'm definitely spoiled with my options, but find myself going to Gristedes which is the closest, the most. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-is-your-local-supermarket#post-44145 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 13:35:14 +0000 venice4504 44145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have one 2 blocks away and a Trader Joes is about 6 blocks away. Whole Foods is a mile away (down a huge hill) as is another grocery store. It's like we're surrounded! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-is-your-local-supermarket#post-44138 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 13:28:59 +0000 Rosie Girl 44138@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>About 5 or 10 minutes to the store I like to shop at. Otherwise less then 5 minutes to a grocery store. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-is-your-local-supermarket#post-44136 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 13:28:18 +0000 keiki_mama 44136@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a Lucky's 1.5 miles away, Trader Joes and Safeway 2.5 miles away, not to mention a weekly farmers market that's three blocks away. We're pretty lucky! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-is-your-local-supermarket#post-44125 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 13:21:33 +0000 SAHM0811 44125@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a full-sized grocery store downstairs in our apt building :) It's owned by Koreans, so it has a very good Asian section, plus all the regular American brands you see at major stores. It also has tough-to-find European chocolates by their registers! There's another very similar store about a 6 minute walk away. </p> <p>Trader Joe's (my go-to) is a quick 8 minute walk away, as is Food Emporium. Whole Foods (second favorite) is a 15 minute walk away.</p> <p>There's also Fresh Direct which is my favorite in the winter. They make online grocery shopping so easy and deliver the next day. It's one of the best things about living in New York! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-is-your-local-supermarket#post-44122 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 13:20:20 +0000 cyneswith 44122@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2-5 miles, depending on which of the 4 I use. Naturally, I go to the closest (and cheapest) one most often. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-is-your-local-supermarket#post-44117 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 13:05:43 +0000 yoursilverlining 44117@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Less than a 10 min. drive to a large (and fantastic!) grocery store, trader joe's and whole foods, though I never shop at whole foods. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-is-your-local-supermarket#post-44108 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 12:54:00 +0000 Meridian 44108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We go to a market about 3 miles away, but we only grocery shop about once every 2 weeks and stock up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-is-your-local-supermarket#post-44101 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 12:47:12 +0000 heffalump 44101@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably a three minute drive. I used to live literally across the street from one. It was awesome. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-is-your-local-supermarket#post-44092 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 12:42:41 +0000 Rubies 44092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A few minutes - I'm so glad. I make a giant trek to a Korean supermarket - there are much closer ones but there is one in particular that I go to...It's about 30km away! We only go, though, on our way home from church. Otherwise, forget it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-is-your-local-supermarket#post-44089 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 12:40:50 +0000 lilteacherbee 44089@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours is about 5 miles away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-is-your-local-supermarket#post-44086 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 12:36:16 +0000 Andrea 44086@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually go to Trader Joe's or Stop and Shop which are both only 3 minutes away. I make the trek to Whole Foods maybe once a month only since that is about 25 minutes away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-is-your-local-supermarket#post-44085 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 12:36:06 +0000 Boogs 44085@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>About half of a mile. It's really nice because I'll usually walk there with the baby if I only need a couple of things. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-is-your-local-supermarket#post-44083 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 12:33:18 +0000 sorrycharlie 44083@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I literally live one street over from Stop and Shop. However, I food shop at Target, which is about 10 minutes away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-is-your-local-supermarket#post-44081 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 12:22:01 +0000 mediagirl 44081@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I shop at Walmart and the one I like to go to is not close. I normally stop on the way home from work. It's right off the highway exit, so it's super easy to get in and out of. If I go to the Lowes Foods nearby, it's 5 miles driving but it would be a mile if they would put a road in behind our neighborhood!! </p>
