Food Shopping at 6AM

I am still oxox · ‎03-09-2010

Instacart did not show up yesterday, so my dear almost 65 year old DH is off to Stop and Shop for a list.

I hope he gets at least 85% of what is on the list.

These are some crazy times we are living in

Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and start being positive what could go right.

@I am still oxox Gotta say. I usually DO shop right when the store opens. Have actually showed up a half hour early and If the door is open I am doing my shopping while they are still stocking the shelves so I can be at the register to check out " When they open." My obsrvation is there are a LOT MORE people shopping at the early Designaed Senior Hours then there are any other day of the week. I would hope a cleaning is done Every night not just on the nights before Senior Hour. You could always ask. I have gone back to my usual hours and leave the senior hours to otners.

went to Traders yesterday, despite waiting in a line outside, they were fully stocked.

the guys have been going to the Shops Rite and Stop, and report they have pretty much everything as well.

we are in CV central here

This is our first real market trip we had the food delivered the last two times, but Instacart was wacky yesterday and he is treating this like an adventure. We did stop into a small local Acme two weeks ago and other than meat and paper goods it was fully stocked.

I am not going to complain about anything he brings home.

sounds great, mrjtb likes to grocery shop .

my post was just sort of info for others reading in other parts of the country as well. so they don't think that empty shelves are the norm.

My dad always shopped at 6 am when the grocery stores opened. He didn't need a virus to do it, he was an early riser and liked shopping then the store was first opened.

He is back and he more than exceeded my expectations, everything on the list plus goodies. I wiped down all the cans and packages, tossed the plastic bags and wiped down our bags.

He said it was not busy and well it was an experience.
