Grammar police here.

The (all) is not needed, "what should I buy?" already covers the plural case. I have noticed this a lot in Indian English.

That's truly funny. Have you also heard the Anglo-Indian use of "y'all all"? :)))

Which grammar? Which dialect? English is not monolithic, and Lowth and Murray were wrong.
