They're probably extremely different actually. Piggly Wiggly is more a grocery store than anything and if I remember right, Fred Meyer has a little of everything ...like a Super Target? Please correct me if I'm wrong, I've only been in a town with a Fred Meyer in it once and we didn't go there. I only heard about it.
Shopping. I must confess that I enjoy it at times. I prefer to go knowing what I'm looking for so that I can get in and get out. There is the rare occasion that I go simply to window shop, but I really have to be in a mood. Shopping for someone else can be fun. Shopping for me can get quickly depressing and make me want to jump out of a size 16 window, but whadoya do?
So how does my southern shopping differ from shopping in the north? Probably doesn't. I dunno, I haven't really shopped in the north. Hmmmm, I should try that some time.
I've never seen them up here, but I remember them in various places in the South. I best remember the Jitney Jungle store, which was just outside the Jackson Zoo. I thought, then, that the zoo was also named Jitney Jungle.
ReplyDeleteFred Meyers is just a grocery store that also sells everything thing else, from groceries to shoes to clothes to diamonds to tires to lumber to plants to . . . .
Me? I am, indeed, a get in and get out person!

ReplyDeleteHmmm. I'm not sure! I am somewhat of an anomoly, because i don't like to shop and never learned what it is that people like about shopping, other than getting rid of money they don't seem to want. People up here also window shop, but me? I am not sure what window shopping is for, or why it is entertaining, unless I want to replace windows! :-D For example, I see no reason to oo and awe over some outfit, purse, or pair of shoes, unless i intend to buy them. I just don't get it!
