    Time is a commodity, and becomes even more tight as an individual living from paycheck to paycheck. Grocery shopping every day or two likely isn’t tenable. Not if you want time to sleep between 16h work days.

    It’s why some poor folks rely on fast food. There’s no time for anything else.

      Yes, grocery shopping is very time consuming when you have to take a dedicated trip and drive a car. It’s much less so when you can walk home from work and the store is on the way. The problem is cars.

        I walk to my grocery store and I still preferentially plan ahead and buy enough provisions to last me at least a week. I would not want to visit the grocery store every two days, that’s such an unnecessary time sink.

          Idk, I don’t like planning things too long in advance so I prefer being able to get things frequently on short notice. Maybe it’s just a me thing. Also produce goes bad.
