In practice, sometimes you have to improvise, if something goes bad, or you realize you’re missing a key ingredient, or you’re too tired after a hard day etc
Sure. But none of those things happen on a daily basis. At least, they shouldn’t with a modicum of planning. It still saves probably at least half of the trips
Well yea but I meant for a single person. In aggregate, it still saves probably at least half of the trips.
You’re not really arguing that getting takeaway and buying food ingredients in bulk is just as bad when it comes to the amount of car trips, right? That seems ludicrous.
No I’m just saying these delivery services have their place. And they’re at least more efficient (in terms of fuel) than doing pickup yourself. They can group orders and daisy chain their routes.
You don’t need 1 car trip for every single meal if you cook yourself. You obviously buy in bulk, usually for a whole week. That’s 6/7 car trips saved.
That’s kinda the whole point of having a car, so you can transport a lot of goods home. At least, that’s the point in my country.

No, but in aggregate they do happen millions of times per day
