Do you enjoy grocery shopping?

I just don't like to go shopping, and I simply don't know why. I hate to go clothing shopping; furniture shopping; and grocery shopping. I will yawn all day, and I will feel bored there. The other day, my mom took me along with her for a grocery shopping. I didn't find it interesting, I only bought myself a few pack of chips and my favorite ice cream. The rest of it, I tag along with my mom. Do you like to go all kind of shopping?

i love to go grocery shopping but i hate to wait in a long line to pay what i have bought. its even nicer to learn how to budget especially now that almost everything is rated at a high price. and its also nice to check for new items and know which does best.

I do not hate shopping but hate to go in group when no one is able to decide which is the best to buy. I will say select one thing, other people will select something else and that takes a lot of time. I can go for shopping and enjoying buying grovcery as well if there is no one to disturb me with the choices. I make a list of things and decide before going to shop that all these items will be choosen by me only .

I do not mind grocery shopping. What I do not like is the gabbers who stand in the aisle and chat away or those who are more extremely far sighted that they have to stand right in front of one side of the aisle to see what is in the next. Then there are those who block the place where you want to get something. Not to mention there are not enough cashiers, there is not enough products for the couples and the singles. OUr grocery store seems to cater to the people with four or more kids. Now I love the idea of large families, but there are also single people and widows and widowers and the only place that they can get things other then growing their own is to go to Safeway or Sobeys and it is more expensive there.

No, I do it mostly because I have to, not because I think it is fun. I hate standing in line and waiting for other people to finish their stuff, which I have to do a lot in the supermarket, so I get really annoyed and grumpy if it takes too long. So grocery shopping, I try to get over with as soon as possible. Clothes shopping, on the other hand, I really like! But these days, I shop mostly online, so I don't go to that many stores, really.

To me, thats the most exciting thing to do as far as i am concern.Investing time to go shopping is a go go to me.I like it when i shop clothig oh my gush big time i really do enjoy it.It takes me longer when i go for shopping for clothes.Also grocery i really like it coz evrytime i will look for a certain food i always imagine of how it will trun out.Lie for example i will buy veggies so at the back of my mind i will imagine that i prepare something from this veggies that will keep me going and i am so excited about it.THe reason also why i love to go for grocery is that everytime i will cook something my husband will always appreciate it and almost everday breakfast,lunch and dinner he will always says thank for the lovely food.

I really enjoy it. I like to go for strawberries every morning. One of my favourite fruits is watermelon, but it is too heavy to take it home, so i go with my mom and dad to buy it. It is always fun. :)

I love going to the grocery! It just makes me so happy, and I just love buying foods. Hehehe. I enjoy it more if I don't have to pay for it. LOL. I don't know why, but I just love entering grocery stores, even if I really don't have anything to buy. Hehehehe.

Grocery shopping,oh,no,it's a waste of time,it makes no sense,Ionly go grocery shopping when I just need everything when I run short of them,every time I make a list I want,and I don‘t stay there for long,because the grocery shop is always very crowded,and I hate that,but my girl friend love to,I think it's the biggest difference between us,it's really a torture when I have to accompany her to grocery shop.

i love to go shopping, for groceries, clothes, shoes, whatever. it's my way of de-stressing myself. when i feel all stressed out, i go to the supermarket or department store even if i don't plan to buy anything. i just want a change of scene. it's relaxing for me.

I love grocery shopping! I like comparing one stuff to another and i love good buys. I love it how manufacturers outdo each other. There will be one product who is 50% less and then the other will do buy 2 take 1. Hahaha.

Hi swetashah, during my childhood I loved to visit the sundry shop together with my dad. As the nearby shop was about a km away from our house. I usually sat at the front of my dad on his riding bicycle. There was a big rotten basket at the back of the bike for loading the goods purchased. We usually would pay a visit to the same grocery once or twice a week. While my dad was doing the grocery shopping he allowed me to picked my favorite snacks at the same time. I dumped my lovely items into the basket. After paying the whole basket of goods at the counter I then picked out one or more tasty snacks to entertain my appetite while riding home. I liked the bear shaped biscuits as well as the whitish sliced of candied melon. My son having such delight to do the same thing as me while accompanying me to shop in the grocery during his childhood. I felt really content to see my kid enjoyed eating his favorite snacks riding in the car. my son does love the candied melon. Might be most of the kids love taking sweeties. Happy posting

I love grocery shopping when I have a lot of money because I can freely buy what I want, but I dont I hate it because I dont like to budget and just look at the items I wanted to buy. All types of shopping, for me, is fun if I have a lot of money.

I really love shopping especially when I have the resources. Since I am now a mom, the more I enjoy shopping for all our needs here in the house. I should be responsible for the wants also of my family. I am not bored when I am in the mall or grocery store because I can see all the latest items and other things that I want even if I can't buy everything.
