I never thought of it as a hunter gatherer thing, but I do have that instinct very strong, and perhaps that's it. I always think of myself as having a strong "provisioner" instinct. Perhaps it comes from my grandmother's having to get in enough food to last a winter for the five kids in the little homestead on the vast and barren Saskatchewan prairie. I have no idea how she did that.

I, too, always want to go to a grocery store every place I travel. Just love it.
