I was not aware that it's different in other areas...thinking about it though, when I wasn't home I was either on a business trip or vacation, Those activities, almost never included grocery store visits. You have a very interesting POV.

That said, I do the shopping. I don't like frozen then thawed meat, nor fruit, vegetables. herbs and the like that are days old. Every 4th week or so, I do have a big cart - paper towels, TP, etc.

To match my preferences, I do end up at the Market of Baskets several times a week. 😎
