Your circumstances fit exactly into the issue I brought up. How many car free people have sufficient space/equipment/time to either cart home a typical family's groceries by bicycle, or conversely make daily trips to the grocery for each day's meals.
The time element is even more relevant now that daylight hours are shorter, and as pointed out in another recent thread, cycling in darkness before/after work to shop for each meal or eat at a restaurant may not be desirable.
