I go to the grocery store several times a month. Going today to pick up some paper towels and laundry detergent.

I went to the grocery store today at like 3AM (best time to go). I usually go once a week to take advantage of any deals for thing I need.
But other than a grocery store? I don't know the last time I've been in a physical store. Many years.

Online grocery shopping isn't really feasible where I live. City is too small, population density of the area is too low. There are local services available for it, and they will do things like go to different stores to price compare and make sure they get the freshest stuff, but the fee is a little too high to make it an attractive option. So I still need to do that every couple of weeks.
But for anything else, I shop in an actual physical store maybe once every 6 months or so. Most of the time just for something to do. Besides food, there's nothing I need to go out to buy that someone won't deliver right to my door for free.

You don't. You just hope for the best. Convenience over quality, in case that wasn't obvious enough already.

Now I'm curious if OP is a recluse or not and if they're silently judging us.
We went to Costco Sunday for some stuff.

I still do most shopping at regular stores. Outside of like games/electronics/random things, I buy groceries in supermarkets and do clothing shopping in malls

Aside from food and groceries, I don't even know actually. I pre-ordered a game at GameStop a couple weeks back, but that's about it. When it comes to clothes and other personal needs, I've pretty much ordered everything online.

Yeah we go to Home Depot at least every other weekend.
And since it's always someone's damn birthday usually Target as well.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
In hindsight yes that seems to be a flaw in this.
PS: Ton of GAFers know me and that I'm not a shut in. Lol

Feels like we drive by Home Depot or Lowes just to throw money in the door and leave. There's always something that needs replacing or updating.
Clothes and stuff usually gets delivered unless we're going to the outlet mall.

I bought a pen today, if that's not on the list of excluded items you're about to add.

What flaw? I'm not sure what you are trying to find out? People go to the grocery store, they go to the pharmacy, some form of hardware store, etc all the time.
CSA, Farms, and a local grocery store one a week [we will prob switch to thrive next month].
Local coffee shop once a day.
Local hardware store at least once a weekend.
Local power equipment store for motor oil, filters, etc.
Local feed store for dog food / chicken food
Local green house for plants / fruit trees.
Last month we did take our daughter to a Zara for back to school clothing.
Amazon for everything else.

I go to target frequently for stuff. Went yesterday. I also go to Barnes and Noble but usually just for the atmosphere lol.
Not counting the grocery store or corner store, which I go to multiple times per week, I went to a Banana Republic and some other clothing stores yesterday. I prefer buying clothes in stores since I can actually try them on before buying.
Other than clothing, I go to Best Buy and homeware/hardware stores on an as-needed basis. I tend to buy most of my games digitally, but I'll pop into Best Buy for a bit if I need a charging cable or something.

Is this some kind of trick question?

Excluding grocery stores when thinking about it I rarely go to stores, but that is due to the fact my wife seems to due that pretty often, Target and Walmart for example. I do buy items other than groceries at Costco however, so I guess that counts. So for me probably once every two weeks outside of grocery stores.
