How many days can you feed your family on 2 bags of groceries?
1-3 depending on what I buy. Fortunately both my girlfriend and I walk past a couple of different grocery stores, fish mongers and vegetable stands, on our way home from work, so it's never a problem to drop in and pick up anything we happen to need.
Gonna carry the new TV you just bought on the bus with you?
Nope. Most likely I'll get it delivered to my front door (same with furniture and other similarly sized purchases). If for some reason that isn't an option, I'll call a taxi. Fortunately I buy TVs very rarely.
I can't imagine doing normal shopping without a car.
Are TV's regularly part of your "normal shopping"?
I agree that the TV example is rather silly. But it is one the first things that pops in my mind when I think about living without a car. We are so used to it, that we don't know how to function without it.
