Did you experience to have your grocery shopping early in the morning like 6am?

Before it was like that! But now no more! The big supermarkets here are offering fresh veggies and fruits already and of better quality than those in the public markets. In fact there are veggies and fruits here that can't be found in the public markets. So although a little higher in price, I prefer to shop either at the Landmark or SM supermarkets where they are offering fresh choices. I feel safer and more comfortable there than in the messy and crowded public market we have in our place.

yeah it was cold n it was fast tht day i was outta bread n i had to have a good breakfast cuz at uni it was a full n busy day! happy lottin n have a nice day!

no not really. but sometimes we go to vegetable markets very soon in morning like at 7 am. it is although not so cold. but its good for me to do in early morning

I used to go with my mom to buy fresh vegetables at 5:30 in the morning, barely minutes after they are delivered to the store. It was always fun, especially in the winter with all the fog around. However it wasn't very peaceful, since we live in an area where the majority of the people are retired Air Force and Navy. People who are in a habit of getting up early every single day! So the counters were always quite busy even at those early hours!

Here it's difficult to get anybody to help you at the deli counter that early in the morning. At Kroger it's closed and at Walmart I have to hunt them down elsewhere in the store, lol. Yeah, it's nice, relatively empty and no long lines anywhere. But it's hard to get out of bed that early;)

Hmmmnnnnn definitely it's very impossble for me/us go shopping that early. Am still very much in bed that time; I usually get up at 9 or 10am specially now that am just a stay-home plain housewife. We usually shop for groceries at Friday either morning or noon time but never when its 6am. But I guess it's a cool time for doing so.....its peaceful and not crowded specially in the counter sections.

[i]Hi Bebs, My hubby loves to shop early to avoid crowd but we haven't tried 6 am, LOL! I am awake that time but still feelin grumpy! LOL! [/i]

hello Bebs08, Why not, if only there is a grocery open here in our place as early as six in the morning. I'll do that too, to avoid the long line in going to the counter. This way I can go home early and saves time. But then it's impossible for me to do it here for most groceries here if not all opens nine in the morning. Best thing to do, I guess is to have a grocery three to four days before or after payday. So the counter will not that busy.

Hi friend, In our country there is no problem at what ever time we go.Here we can sustain the coldness with a sweater and we have shops all round.Whenever we feel like going out and take grocery,we can move out from morning till night.No need of getting up early and going out to get our groceries. Have a nice day

No, I'm not a early morning person, I'm one of those others who are still in bed..lol. I grocery shop in the middle of the day when everybody else is there, I don't know why I haven't learned my lesson to go at another time when its not so busy, you can go late at night and its not that busy, we have a 24 hr. Walmart too. I did go shopping early the day after Thanksgiving, I got up at 4:15 am, and got to walmart about 4:40 am, and was home by 7:30 that morning, I don't think I will ever do that again, but of course it was a different situation, and there were alot of people looking for bargains that day. I didn't get run over tho..

I have gone grocery shopping early in the morning, it took a bit longer because I wasn't rushed and it was good to get it out of the way so I could mark a huge item of my to do list. I like to shop on the odd hours anyway, I window shop when the stores are closed and I shop in the mornings at the grocery store too.

My goodness your life in America is very different from mine. But I could almost picture how it goes with the way you described it. Imagine shopping at that early time and that cold! Whooowwwww! Shopping centers here open at 10:00 am my dear and even if they will open at 6:00 nobody will come because it's either some are still sleeping and the rest are on their way to the office. It's also cold than normal here in our country but this is no match to the terrible cold given by your winter season.

wow! that's really early :) actually, that is a good idea since the groceries are now packed during normal hours during the holidays. unfortunately, there are no 24 hour groceries near where i live so the next best thing for me is to go do the shopping as soon as the store opens :)

Hey bebs! We are having the same kind of weather here today in NY! I am so happy that it isn't cold, but it sure is raining really hard! And, no I haven't shopped at 6:00am, but I have shopped at 2:00am and it is wonderful! But, the only problem is that the meat department is not open so there isn't much to choose from. Whatever is left after the butchers go home is all there is and that isn't always alot to choose from! I haven't done that in years, but it is very nice to have the store to myself! It's great for me since I'm always up so late anyway! I much rather do my shopping then since I hate doing it during the day when the store is packed! Our Walmart isn't open 24 hours here and it doesn't have a full grocery store. So I go to Pathmark which is open 24 hours.

I always grocey shop early in the morning. I like to be able to take my time and shop without a crowd. I have never shopped at Walmart, but the store I go to opens up at six. Now because of Day lights savings time, I usually wait until seven when it starts to get light outside. I love going shopping early.
