Today, we enjoy the convenience of purchasing all the food we need in one place, but the name stuck. So when we refer to "grocery," we're talking about packaged goods. The ones in the middle of the store.

What’s in the grocery department?
The grocery aisles are filled with an amazing variety of neatly-packaged foods to suit everyone's tastes. Products range from sweet treats and international delicacies, to convenience meals and simple dry goods such as beans and grains. The best part? Companies constantly come up with new packaged products to delight customers and aid their busy lifestyles. So shopping here can be a lot of fun.
