Flavor does not matter, presentation does not matter but the food shouldn’t make you sick, and should ideally have enough calories per day for the average person to survive (2000 kcal min).

Edit: I am not in any danger of starving or malnutrition, nor am I insolvent. I’m mainly asking this question out of curiosity on how people would approach a solution :)

      Sometimes it’s necessary and cheaper than the bus. I used to live in a really cold place and if I walked or took the bus all my food would be frozen by the time I got home. Now I live in a warmer place so I walk everywhere; it’s 2.70 for the bus so I don’t use it at all.

      *Also lived in fucking suburbia for a bit… awful. 10/10, do not recommend.

              12 blocks is more like 2km, but nice try. It’s still farther than I’d tend to walk, particularly for groceries.

                  I’m not really sure, but the nearby “fancy” grocery store is about that distance. 1.2 miles (1.9km), 27 minutes walk, 10 blocks (well, technically 15. Rectangular blocks. I counted two-for-one on the short sides).

                  I’ve walked to that store before, but I coordinated with my wife that she would meet me at the store on her way home from work. Walking both ways is just a little outside my “don’t bother” perimeter.

                  Hmm, I could probably get used to it if I had to, but I don’t really have any motivation. I already have a car, and the dollar a week to drive to the store won’t break my budget.
