Routinization of Grocery Shopping Behavior

Anecdotal evidence suggests that routines are inevitable in human lives. Despite their significance, routinization of grocery shopping behavior is under-explored in consumer behavior literature. This research aims to explore and characterize routines and routinization from a goal-oriented perspective. Four factors are identified that support the re-enactment of routinized consumption scripts, namely, goal-centeredness, situational contexts, anticipated temporal conditions, and repetitive value. These factors present a basis for the development of a preliminary theory of behavioral routinization.
