How to make a cool "grocery store" at home

It seems as if my family makes the trek down to the Children's Museum about twice a year. This time, we had a breakthrough: My daughter, who is 2.5, left the baby/toddler room and headed out into the actual museum.

I was pretty inspired by the pretend grocery store section of the museum. They had plenty of boxes from the grocery store, such as macaroni and granola bars, taped shut and placed on shelves. They also had empty milk cartons and cans for the kids' enjoyment.

That got me to thinking about how much fun it could be for my daughter to play "grocery" store at home. I have to admit, sometimes I feel like I'm slacking in the parenting department, especially when it comes to fun play activities.

We already have a little shopping cart, so I'd love to set up a store for her to play in. Have you ever done something like this for your kids? How did it work out? Any tips?
