I like to shop on Sundays. The new ad for Kroger comes out. I work 8-5 Monday - Friday. Shopping on Sundays allows me time to think about what my family will eat that week and begin preparing meals. We usually eat a good meal on Sundays then on Monday we make something we can eat on a few days. We do the same on Wednesday. Friday and Saturdays are opportunities to eat out if we have plans or don't want to prepare a meal when the weekend begins.

Monday.... Not a lot of people are out shopping (due to work) and items usually are fresh (like cookies or bakery stuff from Sam Club)... Not sure if that's true since I only go to Shop Rite, Sam Club, and sometimes Walmart.. But nevertheless Monday is the day I would like to shop for groceries

I think Tuesday would be the best day to shop.  I go on Mondays because that's when I get a senior citizen discount at my supermarket, but the shelves have not been fully restocked from the weekend.

Sundays are when I get groceries. Most of the people in this area sleep in or go to early morning church service so there's not a lot of people at the store.

I don't have a certain day, as my husband only gets paid on the last day of the month.  so basically I grocery shop for the whole month on whatever day that ends up landing on lol

I don't have a preference day.  I do however prefer to go at it alone or with one of my older children.  They are great extra hands to have on hand, have learned I say No so they've stopped asking can we get this?  I also prefer shopping when it's cold rather hot summer days... no rain or snow - just cold so I don't have to bring coolers to pack our frozen and cold stuff from Aldi for the drive home.

Friday mornings.  The morning before the weekend starts.  Less crowds, less irritation and we are ready with food for the next week.

It depends on the week and what specials are going on... At our local supermarket, they "pre-publish" the week's sales on Tuesday, so if you go Tues. evening, you can actually get both the current week's specials as well as the next week's ones as well. However every once in a while, they will have a 3-day sale in addition to their weekly specials, and those 3-day sales usually start on Thurs. So it sometimes is better to go on Thurs. instead of Tues. Luckily one of my friends works at that store, so knows what the specials are going to be going on the next week (she proofs some of their ads for her department) and can let me know in advance which day will have the best specials.
