Some of the 'DTK Life' pitch is also to buy local and stop at several shops a la The market, little grocers and bakeries etc. I don't think there are enough options to viable do this and definately not with a fam
We certainly go to supermarkets less often now that we live in DTK. Staples at SDM, fruits and vegetables at Legacy Greens, New City or BT (or the market on weekends), baked goods at various bakeries, meat products and fish at New City, the market or several butcher shops, ethnic foods at any of a dozen stores etc. It's not one stop but then you are also not walking long distances in the supermarket (and parking lot). And 20 minutes' walk (for us) takes us to Sobey's, Food Basics and Euro Foods on Highland; from Margaret, the Frederick mall is not far.
As for a family, it really depends. I don't see why you couldn't shop at smaller stores for a family of three. If you have four hungry teenagers at home it'll be different, but most Canadian families are not that large.
