Sometimes, its not that its unfeasible to walk to But I tend to buy quite a bit at the grocery store Id rather not walk or bike with that much weight

In places that are designed to be walkable and/or have good transit, you tend to see a paradigm shift toward people making more, smaller trips to the grocery store, often stopping in to grab a few things on the way home from work instead of making a dedicated trip to get everything they'll need for the week. It works out to about the same amount of time spent (multiple smaller trips tend to involve a bit more total time in the store than a single large trip, but not having to go out specifically for groceries saves a good chunk of time overall), but that way you have smaller loads that are easier to manage on foot.

If the grocery store is far enough away that you have to make a dedicated trip there instead of incorporating it into your commute or whatever, and the time involved in doing so means you can't do it frequently enough to only buy volumes you can walk with, I'd call that unfeasible to walk to.
