Grocery shopping is the process of buying food and other household items from a store. People typically visit a grocery store or supermarket to select fresh produce, meats, dairy products, and pantry staples. Many shoppers create a shopping list to help them remember what they need and to stay organized. During grocery shopping, customers can choose between various brands and products, often comparing prices and quality. Some stores offer sales or discounts to help shoppers save money. Additionally, many people prefer to shop at local farmers' markets for fresh, locally sourced items.
