The weekly ritual of spending $120 on a plan to eat a banana.
means The food and household items you buy, usually in a big stocked-up shop rather than one meal at a time.
from From 'grocer,' which traces back through French 'grossier' to Latin 'grossus' meaning 'coarse' or 'bulk' — a grocer was originally someone who sold 'en gros,' in bulk, wholesale, rather than doling goods out in tiny portions. So the word has literally always been about buying in large quantities — the banana was doomed from the etymological start.
