Another interesting observation in my travels...in many foreign countries and even in larger U.S. cities, people are more likely to grocery shop on a daily basis. But here in our rural area, people go to the grocery store once a week or once a month. They have a tendency to stock up on groceries....they never shop daily. It dawned on me this is probably a generational habit they picked up from their parents or their parents picked up from their grandparents where people would "go to town" one day a week, usually Saturday where they would sell their items, eggs, milk, butter etc.... and buy the extra groceries they needed. Even though my parents were professionals, this is the way they did it in the 1970's when they raised our family....

It's interesting to sit back and analyze people and try to figure out why they do the things they do....
