My Favorite Time

The best time of the day to go grocery shopping is at 10pm. Empty grocery stores are one of life's small luxuries that make everything else seem a little bit more tolerable.
At 10pm there is always a parking spot within 20 feet of the door. There are never small children weaving through the aisles knocking over displays causing unintentional obstacles courses. There is actually time to read all the food labels, because no one is breathing down your neck trying to get around you. There is always an empty check out line, and I personally love when the cashier can scan my items quicker than I can stack them on the conveyor belt. There is no juggling of carts at the end of the check-out so everyone can squeeze theirs in to load them back up. There are no soccer moms.

On a side note: I have nothing against soccer moms per say, but they always act so scatter brained and oblivious to everyone and everything besides themselves and their children of course. It's like they are on a mission and nothing will stop them until they get what they want, including you.

There is one thing that you will still run into at 10pm at the grocery store, and that is little old ladies stopping in the middle of the aisles to check items off of their list, but lets be honest that is unavoidable at any time of the day or night.

You know how most children hate going to the grocery store. My future children are going to love it because that will be the night they get to stay up late, it'll probably be the one thing they look forward to all week.

mmm honey crisp apples = <3
