The best time to go shopping imo. I wish I could do this more often because I typically work through the morning, but I got a nice little day off today. This feels so right.

I got to be in by 5AM. And that's the way I like it.

Nope

best time to go shopping is a large 24/7 (well 24/6) Supermarket/superstore at like 4AM.

Staff have been filling all night so its rammed full, and there's only like 6 other customers there so you have this massive place all to yourself like a king

One of the things I miss most during covid.

You will never see a happier Tesco clerk than one at 4:30 AM who is moments away from finishing their shift.

On days off I'll occasionally swing by the grocery store after I drop my kid off at school, it's like a fraction of the number of people as usual and most of them are elderly. It's so easy to shop

The best time is late at night because there are no crotchgoblins running around.

Yeah, this is why I love it. It's so much easier to navigate and find things with less people moving about.

Yeah thats the only thing I miss about having weekends off now. Early morning weekday shopping was great.

But Friday or Saturday night shopping is also pretty lit

Really started appreciating this this summer because it's also before it gets really hot out.

i generally agree, but be careful about Monday mornings. the last time i went to the grocery on Monday morning it was packed with stay at home moms (presumably filling up after the weekend) and there was also a bus from the senior citizens home.

I worked the overnight shift in L.A. for a year and can confirm it is glorious for shopping. We have Tesco in L.A. but I prefer Ralphs.

Go to the market on an off day and no soccer moms or Karens, No parking problems, etc. The lights are dimmed but it's you and maybe 8 other people.

You can ask for a product straight off the truck, vs. how long whatever product was on the shelf.

Only problem with working nights is that I basically became a vampire.
