Which one is correct and what's the difference?

What would you say if someone asked you what you were doing yesterday:

I was shopping at a convenience store yesterday.

I was shopping in a convenience store yesterday.

I was doing the shopping at a convenience store yesterday.

I was doing the shopping in a convenience store yesterday.

or what you did yesterday:

I did the shopping at a convenience store yesterday.

I did the shopping in a convenience store yesterday.

  • Both are OK. There may be a slight difference in meaning. – GEdgar Dec 26 '15 at 22:44
  • The denotations are the same, but 'I was shopping at a convenience store yesterday.' does not conjure up a picture of the location the way 'I was shopping in a convenience store yesterday.' might. The first is the unmarked, clinical version. – Edwin Ashworth Dec 26 '15 at 23:44

    The OP's previous question, [At a shop or in a shop?](http://english.stackexchange.com/questions/296174/at-a-shop-or-in-a-shop). Any reason to ask the same question? –  Dec 27 '15 at 05:16
