Mathematically they're equivalent, but the feelings could not be further apart.

It just isn't, I can quickly and easily park my bike in basically any spot. If I know I'm not buying a lot I'll just bring a backpack and put my groceries in there as I checkout and if not I probably brought the scooter which has the same trunk as a small car.
I don't have to fuss about in traffic, look for a spot, or try to turn my car around in my tiny neighborhood. (Not the fiat...I do own one of those oversized American cars that's literally 18.5 ft long because it was cheap)
But hey maybe I'm just dead wrong, give a bicycle a try. (If possible I recognize not many north American places are bicycle friendly) try getting some groceries on a bicycle. You might actually enjoy the benefits, yes it'll be tough the first time and likely even the fifth...but you might come to enjoy it.
If I'm already out, the hassle isn't bad at all to get 1-2 days of groceries with the bike, excluding liquid or paper goods. But since I gear up fully, that's the real hassle. I do my 20-min work commute on the bike about 1/3 the time though and that's perfectly fine because half the gearing is done on the clock
