How the fuck do people buy groceries without a car? I lost my license and now I've been eating nothing but delivery for the past week. Am I supposed to just go with 2 bags and a backpack and squeeze myself in a bus for an hour? Is this how people without a car live like? How do the NEETs do it?

You can get groceries delivered, trough uber eats, doordash, and even trough the grocery website (depending where you're from).

Grocery delivery services exist. In a pinch you could actually take an Uber or something to/from the store. Not sure how they feel about that though, I know when I worked at a grocer that taxi drivers HATED picking up fares from a grocery store.

How’d you lose the license? Alcohol, drugs, or plain ol’ shit driving?

I haven’t used it since covid but I recall Amazon Fresh delivered pricing was reasonable, although it was a bit risky with produce. I think you can get food delivered pretty quickly from Walmart.

What do you normally eat? Someone totaled my car and I only had a bike for six months, there was a grocery store about 10 minutes by bike from me and I’d get a few bags worth of food and hang them from the handlebars on the ride home

I walk to whole foods, or sometimes I take citi bike to hmart, or I take the train to citarella

Generally backpack, yes. I have a big ass chrome bag if I'm shopping in anger, but my cute liddle jansport bag does the trick for daily trips. Used to use my ortliebs when I had a steel clunker but I got rid of it because after I upgraded to a crabon bike I just started using citi bike for the clunker trips

I am aware that people like you willingly eat food that is sub optimal from a flavor and aesthetics point of view and it doesn't send you to the hospital.

I have higher standards though and that is ok, just as it is ok for you to have lower ones.

The supermarket is near my house, I shop once a week and its like a 2.5 minute walk with 2 or 3 grocery bags.
Simply living in a walkable town helps, though I think OP may be a burger which makes things more complicated because America is pretty car centric and sprawling. In that case I would just use the delivery service, all supermarkets have them even here.

Haha, DUI'd.

All the serious NEETs I know invest in one of these, they're like 10-15 bucks and will carry anything. Otherwise yes, you're going to be taking a lot of public transport. I'd avoid backpacks.
Though apparently there's a lot of delivery deals these days. I don't trust that, though, the one time I had groceries delivered they ignored my requested timeframe and delivered it while I was at work and it got fucking stolen and you bet your ass they didn't refund that.

bro. maybe about time you start thinking long term. if you can afford ubereats and dash for 3x7 meals a week then you do you. if your fuck poor though maybe look at that bus as an option. or at the very least maybe start planning your grocery runs to be monthly or biweekly and use a cab to save the disgrace of having to take public transport.

I haven’t had a car for a while and this is what I do. If I’m doing a big load I’ll walk to the store. It’s about 2 miles, then uber back.

Get used to walking around and meal planning. Avoid places like CVS for little things because their prices are shit. Cheese and bread are calorie dense and travel well. Always buy one or two stock up items with your perishables. Like a bag or rice or beans. Hunger is a great motivator and walking is good for letting your mind wander.

Sorry to disappoint, but I'm European and I live at a coast. Fresh food doesn't magically teleport to the store shelves no matter where you live, so either properly refrigerated food doesn't spoil in less than 24 hours, or food is already spoiled by the time it makes its way to the grocery store. Which is it?

The answer is that most people live hand-to-mouth and go to the store every day to buy only what they want to eat that day.
I used to carry boxes on my head like and African because the store was close but I wanted to buy a lot of whatever was on special, and the Sudanese people saw it and though it was cool so now we all do it together because they aren't embarrassed.

They're awful but you only have to be in there for as long as it takes to grab what you need. I go probably 4-5 times a week and it takes 10-15 minutes, that includes walking there. I'm only in the actual store for maybe 5 minutes.

I've never had a car or a license. At the beginning of the month I go to the store and buy all my core food items: cans of chicken, pasta sauce, pasta, rice, beans, cheese, flour, butter, root vegetables, and maybe a few other things.
If I want fresh meat or vegetables I go buy them the day I plan on using them, or the day before.
If I want a drink or a snack I walk to the store and buy it the day of.
The grocery store is only about a mile away from my house. That's where I buy all my actual groceries. If I want a snack, I'll walk the 6 blocks to the convenience store.

This time of year it's really nice so I like walking. In the winter time I might take the bus, but only if it's raining. If it's snow, I'll walk. I only ever take the bus if it's raining, and only if I plan on getting at least two bags of groceries. If it's only one bag, I'll just take my umbrella.

The grocery store is a 5 minute walk away from me, I just go frequently and buy a few things at a time. I always try to live close to a store. Only once was I so far away I had to take a bus, and it was inconvenient, but yeah I basically did exactly that (take a few bags and sit on the bus). It's not ideal but if you plan well you can make it work.

Another thing to consider is grocery delivery. There are apps like instacart. Surely if you can afford fast food delivery several times a week, you could afford one or two.big grocery deliveries a week instead.

if you live close enough to a store to be able to do that, it's seriously the way to go. I go to the store at least every other day, if not every day and always have fresh stuff. but I happen to have a grocery store practically in my backyard so it's easy.

I mean "close enough" is relative, some folks won't even walk around the corner, some think an hour each way is fine. Either way I'm used to it and when I'm in flyover states where people buy groceries once every 6 weeks it freaks me the fuck out. I expect a seafood counter where everything looks good and I don't have to inspect every single item to see which items are least repulsive that day.

are you seriously incapable of putting up with something you don't like briefly to have a greater reward down the line? you must live a pretty sheltered life if that's the case, because a lot of things in life require you to go outside your comfort zone. not that anon, but as somebody who also makes near daily visits to the grocery store, I am happy to spend 5 minutes doing something mildly unpleasant in order to have fresh food whenever I want. the benefit far outweighs the negative in my opinion. when you visit the grocery store frequently enough you know the layout like the back of your hand and where everything is. I go in and out within minutes, do I love it? no, but it's not like some grueling task. and I DO love having fresh food.

I have fresh food daily without also having to go to the store every single day. It’s just a marvel that you seem to live in a world without refrigeration. Do I spend longer per trip? Sure, but overall I spend less of my life in a dingy grocery store. I know it hard for thirdies to think in time scales larger than a day, but 20 minutes per week < 5 minutes per day.

When I was in the dorms in college the only grocery store within walking distance was safeway. It was fine enough for most things but their meat department was legitimately awful and I was kind of fucked on that front. If my mom didn't live an hour away I don't know what I would have done for meat without gambling with that shitty ass safeway.
The other part that sucked is there was always homeless people outside and on the way there no matter when you went.

Mostly untrue, it on average takes 4 hours to travel across a medium sized european country. And we certainly do have bumfuck locations, we just don't have that much emptiness.

"Kinda close" is correct tho as far as Poland is concerned. 3m walk to most crucial stores, 10 minutes if I want to save money in a market. These are the suburbs. In the deep countryside you either have a general store near the center of a village or there are actually people driving and selling from pickups. In city uptowns stores are, more often than not, your groundfloor neighbours.

I have 5 supermarkets within a 10 minute walking distance from home. 7 within 15 minutes.
One of my favourite things is checking out the new flyers when they drop and planning which stores I'm going to go to.

I used to use company vehicles to go get groceries occasionally but now I prefer walking through my neighborhood and seeing everyone out doing stuff and playing in the park or wrenching on their car in the driveway or whatever. It's also a good exercise especially when you have heavy groceries because you're basically doing a farmers walk all the way home.

You do know that the produce on the shelf is likely a week old (or more, if it's a less popular item and the grocery store is lower traffic) and doesn't get constantly cycled, right?
A guy who's buying a week's worth of vegetables after the grocery store gets their delivery for the week is probably eating just as fresh as you are despite your daily trips

as somebody who goes to the grocery store probably every other day, and sometimes more - it's not even necessarily about having fresh food. for one, it's because I don't drive, and it's easier to carry a small load of groceries. two, because more frequent trips allow more flexibility in what I cook on a day to day basis and requires less planning ahead.
that said I only do it because I live so close to the store that I can leave, shop and be back home within the span of 20 minutes so it's not really a burden.

oh, and another thing is that a lot of grocery stores will put big discounts on things that are about to expire, and if you go frequently you can take advantage of that. which is kind of the opposite of eating fresh, but still. I love picking up meat or produce that's been marked down 75% because it's gonna go bad the next day and eating that for dinner..a lot of it is still good. you get some really good deals..

I shop once a week. It's actually a good diet tool because I have to carry everything home.

The biggest pro tip is try not to buy anything with water in it. If it can be reconstituted, great. Think like a backpacker. Try to get something frozen on each trip to keep the rest of your groceries cold on the walk home. Get not-food items delivered, since you usually get overcharged for them anyway if you're buying from a supermarket.

You’re realizing you were trying to bargain with someone who has absolutely no agency and would get fired if they deviated at all from established procedures, right? You might as well have been asking the ocean to be less wet.

Just haul like 6 paper bags on the city bus, easily dominating the space. You sound like you're probably a based DUI chad so this should come naturally to you.

It's easy to imagine a few reasons
>generally have to wait longer for the passenger at pickup and drop off to load/unload their
>bagged seafood/packaged meat leaking
>anything in clamshell containers shifting and getting smooshed or something rolls out of a bag and gets left behind and dealing with complaints
>people expecting the driver to help load/unload
I'm sure there's more I haven't considered

It has literally never been easier to live without a car. I still own one, but I could get by without it.

In some cases they literally can't, police will stop and question you for walking outside of a designated area

I do a monthly run for most of my groceries to a place with better prices a couple of blocks away on footwith a grocery cart + a backpack. Also 1-2 times each week to the nearest store for fresh vegs/fruit/meat/eggs and whatever I'm craving at a given time.

Only thing I buy frozen is fish and maybe some fruits for smoothies.

>Am I supposed to just go with 2 bags and a backpack and squeeze myself in a bus for an hour?
I unironically do this, I'm just fortunate enough to live close enough to several grocery stores. I bring my backback, a 6 gallon freezer bag, and I usually skip the bus. I wonder why I'm not really in shape despite regularly hauling 30 lbs of food walking 20 minutes both ways.

Pretty easily.
I live within walking distance of a market so just go and buy stuff as I need.

I've got one of these plus 2 of the panniers that clip on the back. Can do full grocery shops, even with nappies and shit.

walmart delivers shit now
they're not very good at it in my area because they're staffed exclusively with homo erectus but it's probably good enough to live
