I so love shopping for groceries. It is my one big delight to shop for food items for my family as well as household items. To me, it is not a chore but some kind of relaxation and leisure. This is why I spend long hours in my favorite supermarket every time I go there. I don’t seem to get tired at all. But I hate crowd and long queues so I don’t shop during weekends and holidays. Do you enjoy or hate grocery shopping?

I don't enjoy it, but I don't hate it either. It's just something that has to be done.

@salonga Yes, pretty much. I don't like any form of shopping, not just for groceries.

This is something that i hate, but I have to do it. I hate shopping - all kinds of shopping, but I have to eat and my family has to eat. If i do not have to do grocery, I will spend my time walking in nature parks.

I do like shopping. However, I would prefer to do some errands during weekdays. Since it would not be crowded. I must say that I hate waiting in line.

Frankly speaking, I do not like to shop for the groceries, and it is due to that, I now depend on online carts which saves the energy and effort.

I love going to the supermarket but just like you, I also don't like long queues at the cashier. I enjoy visiting every aisle of the supermarket even if I don't intend to buy any from that particular area. LOL

@brokenbee It's okay. I also do that sometimes. Now the problem is when you sacrificed the money intended for what is in your grocery list.

@salonga haha yup it's really fun. But the negative side is that I usually pick items that are not part of my grocery list. Arrrgh!

I like grocery shopping. I always have a list, but I like to go through the whole store, and see what is on sale and what is new.

I enjoy grocery shopping, but it's too time consuming and tiring when bringing two young children. So, most of the time, my husband does grocery shopping on his own. Same as you, I don't like long queue and crowd too.

@salonga Glad that my children are now a bit older, and will follow me. So, now they can actually help to pick the groceries. But still, it's more time consuming.

I like grocery shopping because I think I will be a wise customer who buy the necessary groceries for my family. But sometimes since I don't have enough time, I will buy groceries online. So I regard the grecery shopping a kind of relaxing for me.

I never did it online. I always find time to go to the shop myself because it makes me really happy to do it myself.

I like it so so. One of the grocery stores in town is my favorite store. When I go there, it is more relaxing and doesn't seem like such a chore. But,when I go to Wal-Mart to shop for food, I always get anxious because it is always so crowded.

I think most women are very enthusiastic when it comes to grocery shopping or shopping because it is usually a "me" day though we will be buying stuffs for the house, I can feel the freedom of not being confined to the four corner of the house. lol. Really happy to do the grocery shopping.

@salonga It sounds a bit like us. Eventually we start running out of many things and we just have to go and shop.
