Usage notes

When referring to goods, the singular form is primarily used attributively, as in a grocery bill, a grocery list, etc. The plural form, groceries, is much more frequently used to refer to the goods themselves, rather than to multiple stores that sell them, especially in the U.S. Furthermore, a single grocery item (purchased at the store) cannot be called a grocery (that is, the word groceries is a plurale tantum in that sense, albeit not in its "multiple stores" sense).
