Not normal, as most of our population live in more dense areas (thus, why they're more dense). Even in smaller communities there are usually closer options. I have a friend who lives in a super small town in Colorado, and she drives a half hour once a month to stock up on the bulk of her groceries.

10 minutes? About? There's another grocery store a bit closer. And then at least a handful of more specialty deli/butcher shops scattered around town. Growing up in a different area, the grocery store was closer to around 20 minutes, and it was the 'close one', with the other store/option being about 30 minutes in the other direction. There are some places known as "food deserts"; meaning there is very limited access to a grocery, but I haven't lived in one such area (or maybe the place I grew up would count as one, not sure how they define "food desert"; but it's not like the grocery store was inaccessible, it was just a solid 20-30 min drive).

An hour is extremely unusual for a typical shopping trip. Consider for a moment, that the furthest distance between two McDonald's in the lower 50 states of the US is only 115mi. I can't find the same data for Walmart, but we can assume that it's probably less than double the same distance. In Alaska, the most rural parts of the north, or Texas, maybe. I'd bet that the people you're talking about are talking about visiting a specific store, like Whole Foods or Costco instead of a regular grocery store.

It's my wife and I. I have the bike set up for touring with a rear rack and 2-40 liter bags and a wide front rack with netting. I can carry a surprising amount of groceries and have made an art of efficient packing of my particular bags. And if my wife comes along she can carry a good deal, if less than me. But if I expect to get an extra large amount or I'm planning a party/road trip and I want a lot of heavy and bulky drinks, I'll just drive. Not very necessary most of the time. I did have an old child trailer at one time that was for pulling my (late) dog but it was never worth the hassle to use for groceries. It was mostly for bringing her to work.

If you live in an extremely remote area, yes driving an hour has to be done. Even villages with about 300 people likely have stores with groceries, they just might not have a big selection.
