Oh yeah I've heard you can pick up a bargain later on in the day

The grocery story I used to live near would discount the rotisserie chickens and sandwiches near the end of the day.

It also seems to me it used to be more common for supermarkets to be open 24 hours, which was great when that craving for chocolate or cookies would hit late at night. Now I wouldn't go out late because I don't live with a partner who has a car anymore, so it makes no difference to me anymore, but my nearby supermarket closes at 11pm and opens at 6am.

I'd probably enjoy it more if not for crowds and other hassles. I also get annoyed to see the dishonest tricks that vendors pull to market their stuff. I'd like a very plain warehouse with no silly frills instead of a normal shop. Or a catalogue and a good home delivery service.

But I like being able to get stuff that I want. I'm pleased when I see stuff that I didn't know I could get, displeased when I can't get exactly what I want. I think my favourite part of shopping is getting home with the goodies and eating them. As long as there's enough storage space where I live.
