I went at 6am this morning and it was fairly quiet. The grocery stores by us mostly have "senior hours" the first 1 or 2 hours after opening. You see some people who are clearly not seniors but not many people seem motivated to grocery shop that early.
A few days ago I was concerned that even at 7am the grocery store seemed pretty crowded, but I think it might correlate to some people getting checks the first of the month or maybe getting their SNAP cards refilled or something. So maybe avoid the first couple days of the month. Also I made a trip about a week ago to Walmart for one grocery item no other place carries, but I felt it was too crowded. I think I heard that some big stores like Walmart are going to make aisles one-way and limit the number of people in the store. -----Original Message----- From: AF <af-boun...@af.afmug.com> On Behalf Of Adam Moffett Sent: Monday, April 6, 2020 9:07 AM To: AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group <af@af.afmug.com> Subject: [AFMUG] OT: Shopping If I go to the local grocery store a half hour after opening or half hour before closing then I'm just about the only one there. At opening time there are always several people waiting for the doors to open. Any other time there seems to be a steady flow of people in and out so these are my go-to times. Just thought I'd share that. I have 3 people in the house with asthma so I'm trying to do my diligence. Last night they had everything on my list except TP and chocolate pie. Why you guys hoarding the chocolate pie now? -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
