Can I say" I am going to the grocery?". According to some dictionaries, grocery means food and other commodities sold by a grocer and it also means grocery store. In that case, can I say " I am going to the grocery?" Some people tell me that it's just "grocery store" or "grocery shop", but never "grocery" by itself. Which is correct?

まりさん、 "I am going to the grocery" is not incorrect but it is uncommon in American English. I cannot answer regarding British English. In this situation, we would usually say "grocery store" or "supermarket." I have never noticed anyone saying "grocery shop." I hope this helps.

I think it's better to say "i'm going to the grocer's" as the ' represent his place.

I've never heard anyone say 'I'm going to the grocery' for 'I'm going to the grocery store' or 'I'm going to the grocers'. We also often use it as a plural, e.g. 'I'm buying groceries' though people do go 'grocery shopping'.
