When do you go....

Supermarket shopping?

I have just been "named" weird as I tend to go at 7am on a Saturday, I do this as I can't stand the parents that allow their little darlings to run riot and for some oldies to use it as a social gathering.. Hence why I go as early as possible to get my groceries and get out before the rush.

So when do you go shopping or do you use online/delivered services. I also refuse to use the online services as I always seem to get the just about end dates on the food and mostly the shop tends to get the items wrong and their substitutions are just ridiculous.

I often used to shop after midnight on my way home, Starbuck, but the trouble is they so often run out of stuff. That's why they stay open, because they're restocking all night, but they kept not having restocked the shelves I wanted!

I did some online shopping when I was working, but nowadays I must admit I quite like the social side of going to the supermarket. We have a good laugh about the fact that it's the local meeting place and the highlight of our week meeting everybody we know. Sad init!!

7am on a Saturday?

So THAT'S why they open then? For weird people like you?

I shall have to go. 33 years I have lived here!! I will pop in and invite myself for tea with the excuse that I am a long lost relative - ha, ha. I bet each and every one of us are descended from some lord somewhere!!!

i think that shopping can be a bit of a chore at any time of the day/night .... so it's really lovely to see & catch up with friends along the bread aisle (or otherwise) its only weird if you don't have friends, don't like children & don't really understand the stress that some families may have in being forced to take their kids shopping & struggle with the terrible twos etc etc ... shop on line if you don't like people!
