In 2020, nearly 60 percent of female grocery shoppers living in England, Northern Ireland, and Wales did most, if not all, of the food shopping for their households. In contrast, less than 30 percent of male consumers in these countries were their household's designated food shopper. In many cases, however, the responsibility of grocery shopping was shared between people living together.
