Wednesday evening? That’s the theory being passed around anyway. And that’s tonight — so get shopping.
Lifehacker proposes the idea that it’s wise to hit the supermarket in the evening, soon after store workers have reduced prices on items that’ll be expiring in the near future. Wednesday nights are specifically recommended, seeing that many grocery stores unveil their latest specials that day—and yet they’re still apt to honor sale prices from the previous week. Lifehacker also says that produce and fish are likely to be restocked in the middle of the week, though hopefully this stuff is restocked more than once a week.
If nothing else, the supermarket shouldn’t be crowded on Wednesday night. Well, at least it shouldn’t be crowded until word gets out that this is the best time to find the greatest selection and snag the cheapest prices.
