Feral kids, usually with dirty feet and poorly clothed. Indicative of children that run wild without parental supervision in a commercial store. They may be seen screaming, crying, demanding items "they want", and may be found blocking your path down a narrow isle while their parents refuse to tell them to get out of the way.

An old person at the grocery store that if you have the misfortune of getting behind in the checkout line will make you turn from a soft, cuddly, loving person into a raging menace, because they still pay with a check meaning you probably will not eat your food till after midnight.
Person 1: "Dude what took so long with the munchies it's like 2 in the morning?"
Person 2: "Sorry man I got stuck behind this old Cotton-topped grocery gremlin at the store."
Person 1: "Wow sorry man, here sit down, let me get you a strong drink."

A bag with different things in it.
As expertly defined by a certain orange-tinted wordsmith, groceries are apparently just a collection of random items thrown into a bag—because, you know, words are hard. Forget the centuries-old concept of food shopping; this groundbreaking revelation confirms that if you put a bowling ball, a live ferret, and a VHS copy of Top Gun in a bag, congratulations—you now have groceries.

I went to the store for groceries, but since it's just 'a bag with different things in it,' I grabbed a wrench, a rubber chicken, and a copy of The Art of the Deal. Nailed it.
