I like to go to the grocery store.Always have.But,my mom tells me that she doesn't like it because it's too cold in grocery stores.Other people have told me that they just don't like going to the store. Right now I do not have a car,so I get my groceries delivered.I get them delivered by Peapod which is part of Giant Food Stores.But,they do not have everything that I need,so when I can get a ride or take the bus I go to Shoppers Food Warehouse and Wegmans. How about you?

It is hard for me to grocery shop that often.When my husband was living it was rasier,we had a car and money to do that.However now I do not have a car(couldn't afford the gas if I did!)and not enough money to go shopping every week.I used to go to Safeway some where we used to live,but there is not one in the city that Iam in now or even nearby.

I don't like grocery shopping. It isn't that I mind going out and getting things, but I don't like the crowds. I shop at my Walmart Supercenter because around here, that is the cheapest place to get quality groceries. And they run a very good store. But unless I hit the store in the early morning hours, I'm always fighting a crowd.

I love grocery shopping! I like being able to pick out the food s I want and checking to make sure I get the freshest fruits and vegetables. Plus I do all the cooking so I can ensure I get the proper ingredients to prepare all of our meals. We live on a Navy base so most of my shopping is done down the street at the commissary. If they don't have something I need I run out into town and go to Save Mart. They usually have the items I can't find. If not, I have to make the long haul into Walmart and, fingers crossed, they have what I'm looking for.

the hubby and I hate going grocery shopping! It's too stressful and at the end we always have to wait on these long lines and then when we get home we have to lug all the bags up to our apartment and then put them all away. Needless to say, it's not one of our favorite things to do. We shop at Walmart for our groceries by the way...

I happen to like grocery shopping for I can just do it right at my work which is Walmart Supercenter and use my discount card which is great it helps me to save some money when I get a carriage load of stuff. They have everything that I possibly need there I couldn't ask for a better place to do all my shopping.

You are lucky,it is a great benefit to work at a place where you shop or use their product or service.The discount and some place's give free stuff as well.

I love grocery shopping, I love looking for bargains, specials and markdowns instore where you can save a bucket load of money just because the expiry date on the product is getting close. Fruit and vegies can also be picked up quite cheap, but it still has to be good quality.

Usually it's my mother and sister who shops for groceries, either on public markets or on grocery stores which is just near to our place. We have a mall here, just 15 minutes away from our home but most of the products there are expensive if you compare it on the products sold on public wet and dry markets. We don't have that kind of delivery service, but there are also rolling stores that sells and peddles fresh foods which are complete with vegetables and spices too.

I hate doing any kind of shopping. I hate to run errands and go to stores and fight the crowds. I would much rather sit at home on my computer and do my shopping from there but it is hard to do grocery shopping from home. We do not have stores that deliver where we live. I do most of my shopping at Walmart. I can get groceries and other things that I need while I am there. I get a few things from Save A Lot also. They are a discount store that sells groceries.

I do like to shop but particularly for groceries. I always get the same kinds of things and go around the same time so it has gotten to be a boring routinal kind of thing.

I do not pay a visit to the grocery shop often, for io find that the things in the grocery shop are more expensive than those in the supermarket. So in most cases, I will buy the food and daily use in the supermarket every week. Only sometimes I need something badly and can no wait to the shopping time, I will buy it in the shop instead.

I really like to go to the grocery store. I like to choose and shop for the items I needed, for buying my snacks and for choosing god and fresh vegetables and fruits. I find it very enjoyable whenever I go to the grocery store :D

i always look forward to grocery shopping... me and my sister do the grocery shopping and i like roaming around the place and look for the things my family needs. i dont like to pick out the fish, meat and poultry though since i feel that im not really good at picking the good ones yet. but everything else i like doing. the only thing i hate is that there are a lot of people these days. when it first started it was great because theres not a lot of crowd there. but now, every sunday its like full! now i dont have a big space to roam around in. lol.... i also like checking for prices and comparing them hehehehe... and trying out new products if its good we buy next time. if not then at least we got to try it. haha

I also like grocery shopping, although I like it a whole lot less now that I am paying for it, as opposed to when I lived at home and my parents paid for the food. I have a couple of grocery stores within 3 blocks of me(one in either direction), so I am lucky in that respect. Because of the competition, both of their prices are reasonable, and they have sales on different stuff each week, so between the 2 stores I get about 75% of the stuff I need on sale. Combine that with the coupons and Shortcuts I use, and I save a fair amount. I also shop at Wal-Mart Super Center, while it is further away, some things are a better deal there, and some things they have at Wal-Mart I can't even find at the grocery store. I also belong to Costco, and go there about once a month to stock up on just a few items. Batteries are really cheap there(comparatively), laundry detergent, toilet paper,and paper towels.

I usually shop at Kroger's or Walmart. I will often get my meat though at a family owned grocery because they have it cheaper. I don't really like to grocery shop cause I get so tired of walking around the store trying to figure out what everybody wants. I have to do it everyday most of the time because my husband's appetite will change quickly and if I fix something he's not in the mood for then he won't it and I will get mad.
