re: How do people who live out in the country do it with grocery shopping.

Idk, but you never see any threads from rural people bitching about rural living. I see threads all the time from urban folk bitching about hoa, dogs barking early, lawn mowing early, etc etc. The only threads about rural living, come about like this....with a city folk thinking something is an issue that's just not.
I love about 30 min from Lafayette and it's 15 min to any major grocery. I wish I lived even further out. Right where I'm at most people have at least 2 acres...average is probably 10. I think if the minimum were 5 it would be just right.
