We usually go Friday night right after I close but it's starting to wear on me after such a long night. Plus once we go shopping (my husband does our family's while I do the childcare's), come home, unload put everything away and then we still need to eat. By this time it is 8:30 and I'm just wiped.
I don't want to have to get up Saturday mornings and go because I just want a day not to have to get up and have to do something right away. Plus Satuday's are usually busy with other plans.
What really made me decide enough was enough was Thursday I was admitted into the hospital (I'm ok thakfully) but had to stay till Friday for some monitoring. When I got out of the hospital we came home for a bit and then later that afternoon we went grocery shopping. I was tired and childcare was the last thing I wanted to worry about but we had plans for the weekend and I thought might as well get it out of the way but it made for another long night.
It is just wearing me down and maybe a change would help but I'm really starting to dread Friday nights!
I go either Saturday or Sunday mornings early; it's quieter especially on Sundays at the stores ( I sleep until 8am on weekends)... I make my list & "clip" my digital coupons Friday nights after babes are gone (especially for the freebie @ Kroger each week). I hit 3 stores in one round trip starting with furthest away & circling towards home (I keep a cooler in the car for frozen/cold foods)... it's not worth driving thru traffic to get to the grocery stores during the week. Worst case scenario, I have Instacart as a back up (Publix is only option), but that's very rarely used now my health is better
