“An hour to two hours. I go down every aisle and look at everything. Sometimes I like to ride the electronic cart and knock stuff over.”

“I used to go shopping for about 20 minutes every weekend, but recently I've started just stopping in for three or four minutes to get what I need. I'd like to go back to just shopping on the weekends though.”
— Jack Huynh, Kansas University sophomore, Salina
“Forty-five minutes. I try to spend as much time there as I can. I love going to the grocery store, but I live by myself so there's no reason to buy very much food.”
— Nick Amelung, waiter, Lawrence
“It takes me a pretty long time, probably about 45 minutes. I'm pretty picky about my produce, and I read all of the nutrition facts on everything I buy.”
