I like to grocery shop. This is considered bizarre and perhaps outlandish by many--my mother and my sister included. I am aware that many people actually loathe grocery shopping, and they avoid it like the plague until it is absolutely necessary. I do not fall into this category--not even close.
To me, grocery shopping is an adventure. I enjoy the effort of making a list. The planning of meals in advance is something I find both satisfying and exciting. I find great accomplishment in both determining and fulfilling my grocery list. I also find great joy in seeing how much money I was able to save by planning ahead instead of impulse shopping.
I really hope I am not the only one out there who finds grocery shopping enjoyable.

I, too, enjoy grocery shopping. For me, its particularly the savings aspect. The meal planning I would enjoy more if I didn't get nagged to death that its not what they wanted.
Thinking about it, its almost like hunting/gathering. I do feel like it fulfills a very primal level of satisfaction. It also allows us to act out our nurturing tendancies; by enabling others to acquire sustinance we are showing how we care.
And this is why I was a psych major.
You're not crazy. I love grocery shopping too. Of course, that's only when I'm shopping with you. So, maybe you are crazy and it's just contagious.
