Why I shop on Wednesday nights.

Sylvia asked the question after reading my earlier post about my weekly menu and shopping routine. When I worked full time, my weekly wage was deposited into our bank account on Wednesdays, so it made sense to do the bulk of my shopping on that night while there was enough money to draw on. I haven't had any reason to change my routine; I like having the coming weekend free of major supermarket shopping trips when every man and his dog is out there competing for parking spots and lining up in queues at the checkout.

I'm lucky that Safeway is at the end of our street (about a kilometre away), so it takes me about 2 minutes to drive down there. The store closes at midnight, and I go about 10.30 pm because I can park right out the front, there are no kids running amok in the aisles, and there are no queues at the checkout. I realise most sensible people are in bed by that time, but it's horses for courses, isn't it?
