[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do some people say "food shopping" instead of just grocery shopping? It sounds so simple-minded, like something a child would say. Major pet peeve. Any others?[/quote] I use the phrase "food shopping" when I go to the food store to buy food. I use the phrase "grocery shopping" when I go to the grocery store to buy groceries. This is a fairly easy distinction, OP. [/quote] I do the same. We only buy food at WF so my DD knows that after church we will go food shopping. If I want to pick up paper products, detergent, and some juice boxes at Target after field hockey practice, I will say "I need to grocery shop."[/quote]
