I usually tear up cancelled checks and dispose them. Once a check is cancelled it is worthless and useless. So there is no need to safe keep them. However it is a good idea to tear them into small pieces to ensure that no one can misuse it.

Should all canceled checks be kept for 6 years How about frequent places like grocery store?

A person or a business can only sue you for money, or you can sue them, in small claims court up to one year from the date of the transaction. You have a 3 year limit to file claims for money in state courts. Therefore, there is no need to keep copies of cancelled checks for over 3 years. Having copies of cancelled checks in hardcopy form is also dangerous and not advised in this day and age with all the identity theft that is going on. Remember, your full checking account number is on the bottom of each of those cancelled checks. If someone has a copy of that check, they can go online and spend everything you have in your bank account by simply making purchases using online "check" option instead of using a credit card. Don't keep copies of bank statements and cancelled checks lying around for anyone but you to gain access to in the event your home or office is burglarized.
