While it may not be obvious at first glance what the Grocery Store is about is providing you with discounts on the ingredients for Cooking the different dishes you can cook and bake in your oven at home, and discounted seeds for the different crops you can plant and harvest and, in the end, it is all about saving you money...
The Cooking Aisle
The Listing Key below provides you with a list of the Items you can purchase here at the Grocery Store along with their Stats - bear in mind that the comparative cost or reward may be different for making the same recipe by using the stove in your kitchen rather than buying the discounted ingredients here at the store... Not all of the recipes will be more economical, and not all will offer better XP, but some do!

| Cookies | $1 | 1 Minute | 10 XP |
| Hot Cross Buns | $1 | 2 Minutes | 20 XP |
| Brownies | $4 | 5 Minutes | 80 XP |
| Pancakes | $6 | 10 Minutes | 60 XP |

The Grocery Store is a source for discounted Seeds and Baking Supplies
The Gardening Aisle
The Listing Key below provides you with a list of the Items you can purchase here at the Grocery Store along with their Stats - bear in mind that the comparative cost or reward may be different for growing the same plants by using the garden plot in your yard rather than buying the discounted seeds here at the store... Not all of the recipes will be more economical, and not all will offer better XP, but some do!
| Seed Name | Cost | Grow Time | Reward |
| Bell Peppers | Free | 30 Seconds | 1 XP |
| Carrots | $3 | 5 Minutes | 5 XP |
| Corn | $10 | 20 Minutes | 25 XP |
| Lettuce | $20 | 45 Minutes | 60 XP |
| Watermelons | $20 | 1 Hour | 30 XP |
| Strawberries | $40 | 1 Day | 350 XP |
| Potatoes | $40 | 2 Hour | 50 XP |
| Zucchini | $60 | 4 Hours | 100 XP |
| Pumpkin | $60 | 1 Day | 225 XP |
| Tomatoes | $75 | 6 Hours | 215 XP |
| Beans | $105 | 9 Hours | 155 XP |
| Onions | $125 | 7 Hours | 150 XP |
| Spinach | 1 Life Point | 1 Day | 600 XP |
| 24-carat Carrot | 2 Life Points | 5 Hours | 25 XP |
| Garlic | $85 | 8 Hours | 325 XP |
| Eggplant | $115 | 18 Hours | 400 XP |
| Chilli Pepper | $30 | 16 Hours | 250 XP |
| Hamburger Plant | $120 | 12 Hours | 465 XP |
You will also discover that the ingredients and seeds that can be purchased here are released at different levels than those in the stone/garden at home.
Generally speaking the more expensive the item and the longer its grow/Cooking time, the better the profit margin is... While none of these discounts stands out as a major element, when it is viewed over time and especially when it is averaged out over the entire cumulative play time of the game it does add up to a potentially significant figure.

I brought 2 cakes from the grocery story and it took 10 of my LPs. Now I can't find the cakes they are not in inventory.
If they are birthday cakes you will be able to use them when you select 'have birthday'
Ummm this is completely UN related but it won't let me build anything else because apparently the swim centre is being built but I'm on lvl 12 so should I delete the app and get it again or what?
You have to wait until your swim center is built. They only let you build one thing at a time unfortunately.
Did you use Lifestyle points to unlock the buildings? Using LP causes the build cost to go up.
What are the wedding cakes for?? They're pretty much, ummm, USELESS?
I bought a crib and I don't know where it is?
Inventory
My supermarket says it will take 176705 hours.....I started it 24 hours ago.....
Buying seeds at the supermarket also increases your town's value. The red peppers and the carrots don't because they are too cheap, but each corn bought boosts the value by 1 and as you go up the prices to the more expensive seeds the value goes up by more as well.
It's very expensive to build
The sims active list is telling me to inspire a sim by using a cupcake (the green button) but the button isnt green what should i do
YOU HAVE TO HAVE SOME OF YOUR ENERGY BAR, SLEEP BAR, HUNGER BAR, ETC NOT FILLED UP ALL THE WAY
The price of the supermarket is going up because as you build more things in your town the price to build things will go up.so there is actually nothing wrong with the system it's just how the game was made.
Cool! <3
I am on level 13 at bake gingerbread men but it is not in the oven or supermarket.I need help.
How can i use the wedding cake????? Plzzzzz tellll meeeeee
HELP! I'm on level 11
I havn to bake gingerbread to move on but I cannot bake that bread before level 14?! What to do, please
My supermarket is still being built but it has 145 hours until it's done. Why does it take so long?? And how do I speed up the process, I haven't got enough lifestyle points.
Where do i find things that i buy at the grocery store? I bought the onion seeds but do not know how to plant them
Aren't some of your number off? For the gardening section garlic gives you way mor xp I think it's 1925
I think as your town value goes up the price of everything goes up.
to buy seed.. u need to buy and place a plot first.. you can buy it from the homestore under plants and trees ( i think ?) then when u placed it outside the house click on it and the different kind of seed should appear on your right hand side.
Where can i find seeds?? I couldnt find it in the supermarket....the "money grows on trees" thing..
To get free money just plant either beans, tomatoes and other plants
That offer a lot of money
I don't understand the timings . Say if u buy beans what happens? When I bought it from the supermarket I lost money but I don't think I gained any xp (experience). And why does it say the times. Like does it take 9hrs to get my xp (experience) ?? Plz reply x I'm soo confused x
Supermarket same issue as the above posts?
What level are you able to build or buy pet shop and super market for I have no option to do so as of yet since I am in level 12. Thank you
Why is it that others who have the same freeplay game have to option to buy a supermarket, pet store, car dealership, etc. and why am I not able to see any of that?...
Is it a glitch?.. or does the new update no longer offer those buildings?
How do you get Carmel slices???

Buy a garden patch in the home store. You do not need the market built. It's under trees plants and flowers. When a sim is not busy click on the garden patch and I the right seeds will appear
