What do you say when you tell people that you are going to the grocery store?

[Crabbie]

I say "I'm going to the market" Apparently it is an unusual thing to say around here. Every time I say it people look at me funny.

[QuiltyConscience]

"I am going for groceries" . My best friend says she is going Krogering, even if she's not going to Kroger.

[frannie]

Some times I say "I'm going to the market" to, thats the way my mom always said it. But its funny, since we moved to Texas I have caught myself saying "I'm going to stop at the Walmart"

[Monkeytoes]

I just say "I'm going to the store to get some food", or just "going to the store".

[Babyhellfire]

going to the store.
or "grocery shopping"

[Sunnie]

I just use the name of the store I'll be going to. When I was in Va it was "the Commissary" or Farm Fresh. When I'm in Fl, it's usually Publix. Here it's the commissary.

[JudyJudyJudy]

Either
"I'm going to buy groceries."
"I'm going to the grocery store."
"I'm going to (insert store)."

[_MrsC_]

"I'm going shopping"

Grocery is about the only kind of shopping I do, lol.

[MiMi_of_4]

Since DH does all the grocery shopping, I say nothing...lol...

But when people ask where he is, I say at the grocery store or WalMart.

My sister's DH is from the East Coast and still says she's at "the market," and I chuckle every time!

From frannie: " "I'm going to stop at the Walmart." This must be something fairly new, as my daughter says it and I think it's so funny. THE WalMart...snicker...

[Miamimama]

I don't usually tell anyone.

[KatieLou]

"I'm going to get groceries"
Or
"I'm going grocery shopping"

[Suzzzz]

"I'm going to get groceries"
Or
"I'm going grocery shopping"

this

[foxinsocks]

I tell my husband in some sort of piglatin-made up language that only he and I understand, then I sneak out as quitely as possible. If my kids tag along I spend twice as much. "When the great duck flies, she will see the ocerygray orestay... ETR 1 hour."

[babymakes4]

I don't usually tell anyone.

:D

[jacksonsmommy]

If I am going to Wal Mart, I say "I am going to the Wal Mart price. My 5 year old once saw a commercial, and told me that they have spiderman clothes at the Wal Mart price! He also wanted to know if our store was regular Wal Mart or the Wal Mart price.

[CiCi04]

I'll say "I'm going to the Acme", no matter which grocery store I'm going to

[Sym]

Wow. We do this too.

"In a few inutes-may, I am oing-gay too the oore-stay.
oooNay iddssKay"

They are catching on. DD#2 said the other day."Nooo ! I wanna go to the OooorStay with Mommy !"

[MoonBound]

Do you need anything I'm stopping at 'name of store' for a minute. At which point my dh points out that i lack the ability to shop for just a minute or even quickly. mom ill just give me a page list including three magazines that she doesn't remember the name of.

[pawprint]

Actually while I usually say "I'm going to the grocery store", if I say "I'm going to the store" that means groceries. 'The Store" is default for a grocery store. My mom does it too.

[rock__]

I just sneak out the door when no one is looking. ;)

Actually I'm not sure. I think I usually say something along the lines of "I'm going to the store" or "I'm going to buy groceries". Occasionally, I'll say the specific store I intend to go to, and I almost always ask if anyone needs me to add anything to the list. I'm certain I don't say anything about going to the market. I do occasionally get that "take your canvas bag to the supermarket" song in my head though, but I tend to keep that to myself, lol.

[NewMum]

Usually, I say I'm going to the store. Or I will say I'm going to Publix, Wal-Mart, etc.
If I'm talking to Granny, I say I'm going to the grocery store. She sometimes forgets the name of the stores, so if I say Publix she'll just keep asking me where?? Where?
If I say Market, it means I'm going to the fresh farmers market for produce only.

[badbadsb]

Usually I just say I am going to the store. If it isnt grocery shopping I will be more specific, but it is almost always for food.

[Crystal]

"I'm going grocery shopping. Last chance to add things to my list!"

Usually, it's shortly followed by "No, I'm not bringing home any giant bags of candy."

;) I'll give her credit for persistence though.

[Sputterduck]

If I said market people would not know what the heck I was talking about.

I say grocery store

[TuetonicWillow]

I call it the grocery store or by name. As in, "I'm going to Ukrops" or "I'm stopping by Fresh Market."

[Bohemian]

I'm going grocery shopping or to the grocery store. I think of markets as a smaller more intimate shops or a bunch of little booths set up outdoors like a farmers market.

[Sputterduck]

Actually if I said market, someone would probably say, "... like... a farmer's market?"

[vulturemom]

I usually say "I am going to run to the grocery stare. Does anyone need anything?"

I don't know why I say that I have never RAN to the store I usually drive and occasionally walk but, never run.
