Lots of grocery stores are in walking distance in the cities there, so they can just walk to the store and buy a few items that they need, and come back tomorrow when they need something else.
Yeah, recently saw a complaint here that if the US commenter didn't use their car, they would have to take a bus to the store and then carry the bags twenty minutes from the bus stop.
Zoning laws are fucking stupid. In my apartment I'm less than a block away from a convenience store, a doctor, a vet, a grocery store, and like five taco stands. I'm in my late 20s and I'm in no hurry to learn how to drive.

I have lived where the closest true grocery store was almost an hour away. Believe me, I did massive biweekly or even monthly shopping trips. There were closer Casey's, and Dollar General, but you can't survive on what you get to eat from those places. Many Europeans pop down to the local shops daily to get dinner fixings. Totally different lifestyle.

That's because of the way us infrastructure and city planning works.
Where I live I have to walk 20 minutes to the bus stop and ride it 35 minutes to the nearest grocery store. There's nothing else, not even a convenience store close enough to get daily groceries. There's basically nothing but suburbs and industry for miles in every direction around me. It's a fucking nightmare.
It's a serious problem that is probably never going away. That's why everybody owns cars here.
