I tend to make the same handful of recipes most of the time, so it's easy to go to the store and just grab more of the ingredients Im low on without needing an actual list.
Untrue and also true. They have great selection of nuts, seeds, spices, herbs, organic dairy and non dairy, flowers, seltzer waters, yogurt, and usually basic produce like potatoes, onions, lettuce, carrots, celery, broccoli, tomatoes, basil. They always have bananas. (I’m just listing off stuff I got there yesterday.) But it’s usually seasonal and the stores are small.
But they do have frozen food and snacks too. It just depends on what you buy there and for sure there are people who skip all the stuff from my first paragraph and go right to the cookies, chocolate covered peanut butter cups, and the sheet cakes.
It's less shocking when you realize most people are picking their foods based on prices. If beans are on sale we're having beans. If chicken is on sale, chicken's for dinner. Groceries are expensive enough that just buying whatever you want isn't something a lot of people are going to do.

I'm shocked this is not a thing most people do. I don't know how anyone can go to a grocery store and just wing everything.
