minus-squarenull@piefed.aulinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3arrow-down1·2 days agoI was about to correct you on that but I looked it up and you’re more correct than me. I thought groceries were more like packaged goods and not necessarily edible. Like here in Australia if I went to a super market and bought steak and veggies I wouldn’t say “I’m just out buying some groceries”. Another example, “I buy my veggies from the veggie shop, steak from the butcher, and then other groceries from the super market”. I guess it is a somewhat old term. becoming less popular I suppose.
