Shopping in market
In my opinion, shopping in the supermarket with family members is preferred.
On one hand, the process is more important. I remembered when I was young, we would go to Walmart for shopping, where we would talk and laugh.
On the other hand, we could see the goods in reality and pick up whatever we want. There is always sample taste in supermarket, which gives us a chance to taste the food beforehand.
All in all, I am in favor of shopping in the supermarket, with happier experience and better choice in reality.
