| If it's a 24 hour grocery store, go about 3am-4am. |

| Sunday morning 9 am. Perfect! |

| I've noticed that the Georgetown Safeway is relatively empty on Tuesday evenings. Weird, because everywhere in the city is always mobbed... so annoying. Anyway, that's when I try to go. |

| Week day early morning - before 10 am. If you go to WF at 8, 9 am it will be a paradise! |

Early mornings or during the Redskins game. But during it - not right before or right after. I was buying groceries once, and the cashier made a comment that the game was almost over and they would be swamped.

| I always shop at about 10am on Tuesday mornings. The stores are almost empty. You couldn't drag me into a grocery store on a weekday evening or a weekend. |

I used to work in a grocery store and you are 100% correct. During the Super Bowl, we were DEAD. Literally no one shopping. Then a HUGE rush at half time...then dead again. |

| Not Friday afternoon. That seems to be retirement home shopping time. Early mornings seem to be the best times. Late evenings mean fewer crowds but I find the shelves to be emptier so sometimes I can't get all the items on my list. |

| I love me some early morning weekday grocery shopping! The only good thing about being unemployed a while back was the joy of shopping in a completely empty store with employees who were still early enough in their day to not be angry at the world! |
