I've often lived in the US where it was at least a 30 minute drive to buy even a pack of ramen noodles.
Semi unrelated: I like in Germany where you can buy "Suppengrün", a collection of soup vegetables tied up with string for €1 and change.

There is a supermarket nearby. And I usually go there twice a week for some fresh things or lunch. But it’s a smaller supermarket and doesn’t have all the things we regularly eat.
In the Netherlands you typically get most of the weekly groceries once a week, either by going to the supermarket (a bigger one)themselves or having it delivered. And it isn’t unusual to run errands once or twice a week to get things you forgot/fresh items/items that weren’t in stock during the weekly shop.
I typically go to the nearby supermarket on Monday, to get something for lunch and bread and then either on Friday or Saturday to get (fresh) things for weekend lunch and dinner.
