When Should You NOT Go Grocery Shopping In Montana

According to the website Food Republic, it seems no one wants to spend their Friday evening after a long work week shopping for groceries.

That means the worst day to go grocery shopping is Saturday, and to get even more to the point, Food Republic says that between 10am and 2pm is the absolute worst time of the day.

On the flip side, if there is a worst day, is there also a best day? According to Food Republic, there sure is, and it could save you some money as well.

When Should You Go Grocery Shopping In Montana

Food Republic says the best day to go shopping is on Wednesday in the middle of the day before the 5 p.m. rush.

Stores are usually full stocked that day, so you'll get your pick of fresh produce and meats, plus new sales also start to show up then as well.

The added bonus of shopping when it's less crowded and hectic is you can shop smart. Inside of just grab and go shopping to avoid the crowds, with fewer people and less stress, you can be more selective about what you buy and have fewer impulse buys, thus saving you money.

Which is a good thing considering we expect these items to go up in price in the new year. 👇
