Grocery Miles? Yes, i believe so

Conventional wisdom is ANY activity in your account bumps the expiration date -- miles added, miles deducted, ....

United's New Mileage Plus expiration policy FAQ states
"miles will expire after 18 months of no activity on your account", so the converse is, any activity in your account extends the expiration date
