Early Morning Grocery Haul

Written by

Have you ever gone to a grocery store on a Saturday or Sunday morning, soon after it opens?

That’s my favorite time to get the weekly shopping done.

Everyone in the city is in bed still, sleeping the night’s antics away, while I arrive on the scene to encounter fully stocked fridges and shelves, aisles empty of carts, and no line at any register upon checkout.

I can take my time if I wish or get out quickly, not wasting minutes searching for something that sold out hours ago, or weaving in between other shoppers.

I follow my list — produce, pantry, fridge — and make it home within the hour.

The perfect start to a week off.

    I try every weekend to do my grocery shopping early in the morning but I can’t seem to get myself out of bed.

    I do share your love of early morning shopping. The only problem is the produce is often overnight wilted and the fish – aged at best! I love to go to Farmer’s Markets in season – but a quiet grocery is great for those non produce and non fish items!

      I love farmer’s markets! I used to have one a block away when I lived in NY, but now they’re further away from where I live 😦
