Eh. Living in Beijing without a car, we had a big grocery store near our apartment so a cart was sufficient. There was also a wet market and convenience store downstairs from our complex, while taxis are cheap and plentiful for anything that benefited from a ride out to get.

Back in the states, I shop for groceries daily (again, choosing to live in a semi urban area with two grocery stores in easy walking distance) after dropping the toddler off at daycare. A stroller works wonders. Not sure how I will shop after he starts kindergarten next year.
