Great shopping experience this morning.

Iv`e found a way to make supermarket shopping a less stressful experience, just go in the early morning when there are few people about. I went to my local ASDA at 8am, & there was hardly anyone in there, usually I have to fight my way through narrow isles filled with trollies, get deafened by screaming toddlers, & also older kids are treating the place like a playground, running into me all the time. I couldn`t believe how quiet it was, bliss!

Well done hairyfairy :)

I have heard that either first thing in the morning or last thing at night can be the best times to go

When eventually I can get shopping again , I certainly will start with one or the other of those times of day as like you , I dont like to many people about

Hope you got some nice things , a treat maybe :)

I am of to cheat in a bit & do my on line shop , but I will get there like you one of these days :)

Love

Well done, I used to go at 11pm to the local tesco because it was quiet!

I don't go now I can get it on line. It's not because of my agoraphobia its because I hate grocery shopping and I spend less by doing it online! Xxxx

I wish I could go early morning or lare at night, but then I would be the annoying person with the 2 screaming kiddies haha. May try online though, never thought of that!

Hlad you found a better way for yourself hairyfairy :-) x

Well done you :)

Yeah early morning or late at night is the best to go, I too don't like too many people and screaming kids.

I was in Asda at about 9.30am this morning for that reason, food shopping makes me a bit morose.
