"All the shopping" is more than commuting?!? I go to the supermarket
once every 3 weeks, and that's 2 miles away.

My husband drives less than 20 miles round trip for work. And the only
other place he drives his vehicle is to the shooting range because all
the stuff we take won't easily fit in my car.

20 miles x 5 days a week = 100 miles a week. You shop more than
that?!!?

I typed that wrong. He drives 35 miles to and from work, a week. My
errands often involve many different places. I start at the farthest
one out and work my way back.

Any particular reason it's not the other way round? In fact if
something can be bought at more than one shop, you're better starting
with the closest, then if they're out of stock, you can go to another
one on the way back.

It's more an issue of needing to go to different types of stores.

Isn't that what they did in the olden days before supermarkets and online shopping?

Shopping, for me, involves a variety of stores and places and I easily
drive more in a week than his commute. Of course, we do live a bit off
the beaten track.

Must be a female thing. I shop for food once every 3 weeks, everything
else I buy is on Ebay.

I'm doing a lot more than buying food.

For example?

I go to a hardware store I buy reloading supplies (we shoot a lot and
reload all our own ammo), I buy groceries, I do craft stuff and I buy
things for that. We don't cook a lot, so we don't buy a lot of that sort
of stuff, but when we do cook, we don't like meat that's been frozen.

Ok, maybe you can't get ammo in a supermarket or online, but everything else you can.

Every week its usually a different set of things that need to be done.
Sometimes I need to go to the UPS store,

What is "UPS"? To me that's a device used to prevent power outages to something important like a computer.

sometimes it's the post office,
sometimes the library. Sometimes it's clothes shopping or lunch with my
son. It's a variety.

Some weeks I go nowhere, but not too often. I don't mind. I try to do
everything in one trip, sometimes that works, sometimes it doesn't.
