Each/Every day, the husband went into/to town to sell vegetables.
Which words in bold should I use?
Every is correct for the first pairing.
As for the other pairing, both into and to are acceptable but they shade to slightly different meanings.
Into town mainly means to enter a town's center or perhaps it's shopping district. I live on the outskirts of the town but every morning I commute into town. To town means you're not already in the town so you need to enter it. I left the farm and drove to town in order to visit my friend.
