Cycling is a good calorie burner. In the metro area most of us live within 3-5 km of just about every kind of shop, so when you need something from Bunnings, BigW, Woolies or whatever just take the pushbike instead of hopping in the car.

I keep a spare mountain bike with a basket on the front and a couple of panniers on the rear, and I can get a weeks' load of food shopping for a family of four on the thing.

I just checked my card receipts and I filled my car less than once a month over the last six-eight months. The last two times were Dec 19 and Jan 28 - for everything else, there's cycling ;-)
