shopping at night is awesome

Post Reply New Topic

I like grocery shopping at night. There's a 24-hour Giant Eagle about 5 minutes away, which is great for when I have those "crap, I keep forgetting to unclog the shower drain, so I should go buy some stuff for that and do it right now" moments. The best time to go shopping is after 10 pm. There's no traffic, I always get a good parking space, and the employees are more laid back. The store is almost empty, so I don't get anxious around so many strangers. I can stroll along, humming and twitching if I want, and there are almost never screaming children in earshot. It's wonderful. I highly recommend it.

I also rarely go to Walmart before 10 pm (I rarely go there anyway, but still), because that store is like a nightmare in the day time. It's already a huge sensory overload as it is, but during the day, the store is full of 600-pound people with mullets and their entourages of 8 children, clogging the aisles. I can't stand being in there for more than 15 minutes during the day. But not at night. I'm more relaxed when there aren't many people around.

I agree. When i used to get out of work at midnight, then go shopping, it was peaceful(as much as shopping can be). That was when my anxiety was alot worse, too, so that made it that much more appreciated.

I miss going to Coles supermarket in the wee hours of the morning when it was open 24/7 here (a cashier and a security guard were the only people there during those times). Now it closes at 10pm .

There's too many unsafe stores at night around here. I tried going to a Wal-Mart at 10:00 PM once (kind of out of choice) and it was just very ghetto there. Not my ideal shopping experience.

I love shopping late! Since I usually get off work around 9:30PM, I have to do all my grocery shopping at night. It is pure bliss! And I've come to recognize the Aspie-ish cashier who works at night at my local grocery store.

But all the stores around here close at midnight, so I have to be quick about my shopping.

I love shopping at night.

Wal_Mart and HEB are my places to shop. HEB is a grocery store chain in Texas, founded by a man named Harry Butt (seriously!)

If only Best Buy were open 24 hours...
