I forgot to get blueberries last Sunday, and I ran out yesterday, so I went shopping early. Frozen berries with cream, cinnamon, and cashews is my nightly treat. I considered doing without till Sunday, but just went shopping early, instead.
Did my grocery shopping today. I usually go on Sunday.

Less dull and more “potentially dead”

Dead can also be pretty dull:

Why do retired people shop on weekends.
DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 3d
Early Sunday morning is one of the quietest times to shop, everyone else is at church. Store is practically empty. Don't worry, I'm not in "your way."

Compared to 11am on a Tuesday?

OP is British - “everyone is at church” is definitely not a thing here.

My mistake, I didn't realize the question was hypothetical, meant to express frustration, I suppose.

Interesting. I may have to do that too. Both my teens are home and I may need to feed them, but am not prepared.

You know about the class 1 "high probability [of] death" recall on frozen blueberries in the US right??

The image is clearly from a UK supermarket. It's only the US that lacks sane food safety standards currently.

Well that comment aged like raw milk

Now, now. That is simply not true.
There are plenty of countries lacking sane food safety standards and/or enforcement thereof, including some of the countries where sainsbury's gets its blueberries.

That's the thrill. Buying US farm products in 2026 is like...

It’s unimaginable to me to have a set day of the week for grocery shopping. But I guess I also don’t really make lists either - just get what I need after work.

You one of those monsters that shops on Sundays? Thank god the laws here dont allow people to do that.
DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 3d
I never imagined I'd be called a "monster" for shopping on a Sunday. Other things, yes, but not that. Sunday morning, when everyone else is at church, is one of the best times to shop.

I called you a monster because people have to work sundays because of people like you that just have to shop sunday morning
DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 3d
I usually reserve the word "monster" for people like Elon Musk, and Epstein.
Also, the store is nearly empty when I'm there, which is one reason I go then. So, while your hypothesis seems to be I'm in the way of others who have no other day to shop, the evidence doesn't support that. I'm not there all day, just about 20 minutes.
Seems like "monster" is hyperbole, but you do you.

You misread my hypothesis completely.
I meant you are the reason that store employees cannot have sundays off as they ahve to be there and work.
DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1d
Ah! No. It's the store owners who do that. I have no control over store hours. Regulation would be the only way to stop that, so yeah, nice for you, I suppose? Still not a monster, though.
