The lure of the grocery store?

I am addicted to grocery stores. On my outings, I usually hit up at least 2, sometimes up to 5. Even if it's the same chain, I still go.
Browsing the shelves, looking at food labels, collecting items then putting them back, checking prices, comparing, and wandering leaves me lost for hours at a time. I have no idea why I do this, nor why it proves to be enjoyable, but I do it anyway.
Anyone else get stuck in stores?

I can only tolerate going to one store but I have found it to be a decent time. I love food, so its probably my new favorite store. 
I usually stock up when I go so I don't have to go back anytime soon. And I try to only get things that are on sale cause I have a mortgage now and I'm poor.

I guess sort of, but for different reasons. And not 5 in one day, what's the point?
I like going to wander around amidst the general populace. I'll go to malls for the same reason and not buy a thing. Grocery stores are especially cool because of the food. All that food! What a time to be alive. I will hit up various groceries to browse to keep in mind what weird, rare, delicious stuff I can find in which locations. But that's about it.

Autism man, do some research on it.
I know what it's like to read labels. Even if I don't plan to get something, I just like reading ingredients to know how it "works"

I do the same thing. Not so much grocery stores lately, but discount superstores like Wal-Mart, Giant Tiger, malls are good too. I really don't spend a whole lot of money, I just like wandering around seeing all the people and comparing prices on clothes and stuff.
I'm a total bargain hunter, too. If I do spend money, it's like $20 and I come home with three tank tops, some leg warmers, a scarf and a pair of earrings.
