The detour is small. I think it's also more common to go every second or third day, rather than every day.

Search "supermarket" in Copenhagen — not the city centre — and see how many results there are: https://www.google.com/maps/search/supermarket/@55.703748,12... . You may well need to zoom in and refresh the search to see everything.

Rather than knowing a week in advance? Come on.

You can easily build up some reserves.

You clearly have a large family, so you might consider that your situation is not universal. I think many Danes with a large family would mix the two options — shopping by car (or online for delivery) every week or two, and supplementing it with additional trips for fresh food.

Two adults is also two people to share the shopping.

For you. That one time. Honestly, I always seem to be on the wrong end of the curve when it comes to salaries... betcha I end up in the ghetto apartment in the food desert.

Nah. You just get the things you usually get, and you make whatever of that you feel like that evening. No need to plan, you figure it out when you open the fridge.

Just the two children. Even with just two children, this quickly becomes absurdly impossible. For any more than that, the walkable city people just sound like stooges. Well, they sound like that long before we start talking about large families.

The map link is intentionally centred on a ghetto -- Denmark has a legal definition of that.

Around 15-30% of urban Copenhagen households own at least one car, depending on the neighborhood.
