Shopping is the examining of goods or services from retailers with the intent to purchase at that time. Shopping is an activity of selection and/or purchase. In some contexts it is considered a leisure activity as well as an economic one.

Shopping in ancient societies

Shopping can be traced back to many civilisations in history. In ancient Rome, there was Trajan's Market with tabernas that served as retailing units. Shopping lists are known to be used by Romans as one was discovered by Hadrian's wall dated back to 75–125 AD and written for a soldier.

A. Buy the cheapest groceries you can. Try to avoid name brand items that are more expensive just because of the name. Don't buy based on what you want, buy based on what you need. To save on gas, plan your trips and write out your grocery lists before going into the store. Get coupons and stock up on things that are on sale. Especially meats. Make soups that will last all week. And you can also start your own vegetable garden. Its a great hobby and really saves on grocery shopping. You can grow them indoor if you would like, so even that way you can have fresh cheap veggies year-round!!! Plan to go out no more than 2-3 times a week for shopping. If you don't need new clothes, don't buy any. good luck!!!
