We had a milkman in Ohio. By the time we moved to Florida (1977) we had to buy. I don’t know if milk men were ever a thing that far south.

In town, they were.
Where we lived, about ten miles out, no.
Where Grandpa Jolly lived, it was milk your own cow.

I basically shop every day.
Still pretty common in Taiwan (and most of Asia). My mom used to walk down to the wet and dry market every day. Doesn't do it every day now, but a few times a week.
The younger generation does not do it as much as the older generation, but still quite common.
Here are some pics of one of the bigger local markets down by me
I used to love going to the various open food markets in Russia and Central Asia. Each one was unique. My favourite though was the Georgian market in Moscow. The different cheeses were to die for; smoked suluguni was my favourite. It is available in North America in specialty shops although the flavour in the processed version is not the same as what was offered in local markets abroad.

They are building an HEB two blocks from my home. My grocery habits will be less time consuming soon. But the traffic getting out of the neighborhood is going to be a whole new thing. This is on the residential road out to the interstate.

Will be open soon. I'm as excited as a middle aged suburbanite can be. I go to the currently closest HEB a couple times a week and it's a 20 minute drive. This is a 1 minute drive or 5 minute walk.

Best place on earth to buy steaks.
Could be. My favorite place for sure. Got this today. Will be difficult to fit it into my calorie budget.
But I burned 140 calories walking there to buy it.
They had a mariachi band, as one does.

What’s the rat drama?
Btw it’s nice to see the positive experience. I’ve been long convinced that 9/10 people are good and will help a random neighbor if needed. We’re all very similar, to an extent.

You must have missed the thread. Horace has been training rodents in his spare time to put on small Shakespearean productions. Apparently his little Coriolanus is very impressive.

Apparently there's a rat infestation in the neighborhood. I haven't seen any though. Except for my side hustle breeding plague rats in the back yard. Free range plague rats. 75% of the neighborhood has succumbed to the bubonic plague, and now it's all he said she said blame games. I prefer to move forward rather than focus on the past.
