In Paris we have no car... that means we have to walk to get our groceries. This might sound like a lot of work, carrying bags and bags of heavy groceries halfway across town.  Except that there is a grocery store every few blocks in Paris. Not huge supermarkets, just small local grocery stores that still seem to carry everything you need. So, since I don't want to carry bags full of food, I just end up popping down to the grocery store every few days to pickup anything else we need, or stopping on the way back home. We end up eating more fresh food (no more frozen stuff), getting more exercise and no longer dread epic grocery store trips. Maybe the tiny Parisian fridges help as well. 

If we are looking for specific Cheese, Meat or Bread, there's also a speciality shop for each of those every few blocks, and the baguettes from the local bakeries are just amazing. The best bread in the world for just 1 Euro :)
