"Foodstore" (was Re: Eggcorn?)

[FRITZ JUENGLING]

I remember Edith complaining to Archie about Gloria not being able to go or do 'marketing.'  How much Edith et al. truly represented NY speech, I don't know.

And groshry.

BTW, does anybody still "do the marketing" instead of "going grocery
shopping"?  I associate this use of "marketing" with my grandmother and her
sisters, who grew up in Indian Territory/Oklahoma, so I don't know if it
was regional or generational.  (And it's too far to get to the nearest copy
of DARE just now.)
