I buy ingredients. Which sometimes sucks when I don't feel like cooking.
That's when you have breakfast for dinner. Or Grilled Cheese Sandwich and Tomato Soup.

When I shop, I buy some of both. I do not pigeon hole myself into one or the other corner. I can be as creative, or as lazy as I want to be. I have use of a stove, oven, microwave, crock pot, rotisserie oven, and a grill/Smoker. Why should I limit myself. There are time when I want to make gourmet cuisine, and times when I want a microwave burrito quick. There always Roy Rogers too!

The same here. I have a pantry full of ingredients and a freezer full of easy meals. I never know how much time I'm going to have to cook.

Another for the "both" column! I don't have a problem using some food along with some ingredients to make a meal. For example, there is this chicken and dumpling casserole recipe I saw that sounds good! By the time I get home from work, cooking chicken and shredding it would take too long, so I'll pick up a pre-cooked rotisserie chicken and shred it, then mix in the other ingredients and bake. Voila!

I have no idea how to answer this.
Most of my food is made from ingredients that I buy - but the ingedients themselves are food.
For instance - let's say steak. That is food, but it's also just an ingredient when you put salt and stuff on it.
If you make an egg sandwich for breakfast. Bread + cheese + egg. These are very simple foods, that stand on their own as individual things. I would call them food rather than ingredients.
On the other hand you have things like lasagna which I'd get ingredients for - rather than Betty Crocker's Heat-N-Eat Bucket O' Lasagna.
So when you say "food" do you mean specifically pop-in-the-microwave crap?
I'm going to tentatively say "both".

Oh... Is that what you're calling itsbob these days?I shop from my pantry.
But mostly I shop for food that I utilize later as ingredients for something delicious.

I'll buy anything as long as it's not a boxed Hamburger Helper meal. 
Rotisserie chicken is a modern marvel - I get at least one a week. Easily my favorite invention of the 20th century.
