I always avoid to go to the supermarket on weekends, it is usually full and deplete many products. Besides that I read somewhere that on weekends the produts are a lit bit more expensive, just a few cents but it is more money for the same product. So, this to say that I didn't do my grocery shopping this weekend, besides I ran out of some things at home I prefer to wait and today's afternoon I will go to the supermarket. Don't know if it is the best day as people on the weekend may have taken everything

In which day do you prefer to go to the supermarket? Picture has nothing to do with the post, my kids going to the beach this summer, (one of the things that I think we should do on weekends

)

Supermarkets are closed here on Sundays, but I never go on Saturday. My favorite days are Tuesday and Thursday.

@LadyDuck it is fair for the people who work there. No one wants to work on weekends.

@nela13 I prefer going during the week. I have no special day. I guess when I run out I go and get things or go to a place I like when I have to do something else.

Not thrilled about going on the weekends but I will I have to. I don't think I would ever do a major shop then however, too crowded. Friday night is another time when it is good not be in the store. Alot of people have been paid and are out spending their money.

Yes on weekends I also try to avoid going to the market but I cannot because I have to do grocery shopping on weekends because of the regular offline job. Yes, there are lots of crowds on weekends and in the pandemic, we should try to avoid it.

I don't like to go the mall on weekends too. When I was still in my apartment, I can go to the mall on week nights usually people have gone to their houses so it is not crowded.

I've worked in supermarkets for years and the prices didn't change from Monday thru Sunday. When the prices do change, they change a few items and that's the new price for them from then on. I go when Pretty makes me take her shopping.

Weekends are the worst for shopping. The only time I found ok would be at 7:30 PM on a Sunday. I usually shop mid week, seems less crowded then. P.S. Going to the beach on a nice day is great anytime

I buy online ever since the pandemia started. But for the last years before it, I went during the week days when there are less people.
