Shopping is the examining of goods or services from retailers with the intent to purchase at that time. Shopping is an activity of selection and/or purchase. In some contexts it is considered a leisure activity as well as an economic one.

Shopping in ancient societies

Shopping can be traced back to many civilisations in history. In ancient Rome, there was Trajan's Market with tabernas that served as retailing units. Shopping lists are known to be used by Romans as one was discovered by Hadrian's wall dated back to 75-125 AD and written for a soldier.

What is contained in the virtual shopping basket in calculating the inflation rate in the UK?
Q. The official rate of inflation has just increased to 3%, but anybody filling their shopping trolley, paying household bills, running a car or taking public transport will consider this low rate a figment of someone's imagination. In light of this, I can only imagine the virtual shopping basket contains PCs, DVD players, big screen TVs, MP3 players and digital cameras. Can anybody shed any light on this?

A. I don't know the exact list, but it contains many, many different items. The list is revised every few years so that yes, it most probably does contain items like PCs and digital cameras now - and it has had items deleted which are no longer relevant (in the 1950s it used to contain a pound of lard!). It contains mainly groceries and consumer goods. I believe petrol is included, but household bills and so on are not. You should be able to google it to find out - I remember reading it in Metro either last year or the year before, so I don't believe it's some big state secret.

How can I make grocery shopping less tedious?
Q. I hate going to the grocers. It takes me about 1.5 hours to do the shopping. If they didn't have this loud music at the stores, I would take my MP3 player. Any ideas or tips?

A. I actually really LOVE to go grocery shopping, but maybe that's because I am trained as a chef. Having come thru some really difficult times in my life, I feel incredibly greatful to have enough money to buy healthy foods that are good for me and my family. I also appreciate air conditioning when it's 80F or higher outside and so muggy that I feel I'm swimming in my clothing. For me, produce is incredibly beautiful to look at and to touch. I find it completely inspiring to imagine what meals I'll make with it for the ones I love when I get home. I find that if I can focus on beauty, gratitude, inspiration, art and wonderful food, that these things make all the difference in my world. If I could just find some inspiration in the huge… [cont.]
