Abstract
Presents empirical evidence in the context of grocery shopping to challenge the assumption that routine shopping is considered invariably to be a low-involvement activity. Argues that certain situational factors may give rise to routine purchases becoming more involving than others and studies the case of stock-out situations. Finds that there is some evidence to suggest that routine food shopping for many consumers can be highly involving at times.
