Family of 3, our supermarket was in the groundfloor of our apartment so it was sometimes easier to just run downstairs and grab it then to search through the pantry. You'd be amazed what you can carry once you start doing it regularly. I also, proudly, walked around with those little carts you see little old ladies carry. Damn things are super useful even with a car. Carries 2 cases of beer and produce on top ;-)
The other grocer in our neighbordhood does deliveries. Go shopping as you normally do, at checkout groceries are loaded into a big plastic tote instead of a grocery bag. It's delivered to your door within the hour.
I grew up outside the cities (denser, working class suburbs, not mcmansion-style suburbs) and after city living most of my adult life I can't realistically go back.
