When you got shopping; where do you put the groceries ?
If you answer "other" could you tellwhat term you use ?
What region of the country are you living in ?
Here in the Deep South (LA) we "make groceries" and place them in the "buggy"

I put mine in a grocery cart. Aggie says I'm weird. He'd never heard it called that until he met me. He says buggy.....When I think of "buggy" I think of a horse and buggy.

We also call the baby buggys strollers. Use to be buggys.
What do you call the place you put your groceries when you come home from the store before they are put away? I say on the sideboard. My hubby didn't know what I was talking about. He says counter top. He also says cabinet and I say cupboard. Then I remembered I was raised by older parents than he was. That is what we said in our home.

I say countertop and cupboards. I dont think i've heard the phrase "sideboard". Sounds like something you iron on or something.

Sideboards and Servers
Sideboards and servers are typically traditional dining room furniture pieces meant for placing serving dished prior to serving at the dining room table. Many people use servers and sideboards as entry hall pieces to put pictures on or just for additional storage. Pick your new sideboard or server below!
http://www.everythingfurniture.com/sideboards.html
I don't know how the serving table became a sideboard in the kitchen in my family. ???

Is it only local that kids have the little saying:
Bob and Mary sitting in a tree
K-I-S-S-I-N-G
First comes love,then comes marriage
Then comes Bob with the baby carriage
Does anyone else know this little rhyme?It wouldn't work if you didn't use carriages.:rolling :rolling

Same here - shopping cart or carriage. Baskets are the small plastic things you need to carry. I have only heard anyone use sack in reference to bed time - as in "Time to hit the sack".
That is funny.What do you call the thing babies/small children are pushed in?
I know some people call them strollers.Around here they are carriages.
I learned it as strollers are the things that toddlers can only sit in. Carriages are the ones that fully recline & you would an infant in. . :stork Then again, that was before all of these convertable strollers with the detachable car seat became big.
Tonic: Chiefly Eastern New England. soda pop. (got that from dictionary.com)
I don't know anyone who calls it soda.:rofl: Anyone I know calls it either tonic or coke.
The other questions:counter,cabinets,I never say groceries or even grocery store.It is food shopping and food store.:rofl:
In SE Mass, I have never (even when I used to waitress) heard anyone call it tonic. Just soda or brand name (Coke is Coke, Pepsi is Pepsi, etc)
Kitchen's have counters & cabinets that hang on the wall. A cupboard was a separate piece of "furniture" (like a microwave cart) used to store things in.
