Buying groceries.
Contexto cultural
The 'Harrytur' is a major cultural phenomenon where Norwegians drive to Sweden to 'handle inn' cheaper goods. Sunday closing laws mean that 'handling inn' on Saturday is a national pastime. The 'Matpakke' (packed lunch) culture dictates what people 'handler inn'—lots of bread and spreads. Pant (recycling deposit) is part of the 'handle inn' cycle; you bring bottles back when you go to buy more.
The 'Inn' Rule
Always use 'inn' if you are talking about groceries. Just saying 'jeg skal handle' is okay, but 'handle inn' makes you sound much more like a native speaker.
Don't 'shoppe' for milk
If you say 'Jeg skal shoppe melk', Norwegians will find it funny. 'Shoppe' is for high-street fashion, not the dairy aisle.
