Growing up in NYC outer boroughs, we said we were “going food shopping”. My mom still uses this term and has passed it on to my sisters, me, and my nieces.
Now Grandma differed on this usage. She would say she was “going to Bohack”. Bohack closed sometime in the mid 1970s, but she used this as her word for food shopping until she passed in 2013.
