I shop when I need something, it's not a scheduled event I mark on my calendar.
My local supermarket is only marginally less crowded on weekdays since I live in an area where many people work at home and there is also an abundance stay-at-home moms.
Hmmm. Sounds like someone was inconvenienced at the grocery store today by the presence of one of us horrible, disgusting retired people.
Sounds like someone is inconvenienced by the question. I happen to live in an area with many seasonal snowbird retirees. I love the tax dollars they bring in.
It's not a single person I am talking about, it is the fact that the weekends are the busiest time in general. Again, everyone has the right to shop when they want. But many busy parents are rushing about to get things done. Shopping is going to be more relaxed M-F. How many working people are likely shopping at Costco on Wednesdays at 2pm?
My local Costco is one of the busiest in the country, and Saturdays and Sundays the busiest of the week by far. The weekdays see less than 50% of the weekend traffic.

You make some fair points. Every location and situation is going to be different.

Honestly, Costco shopping for most is something you do one a month or quarter or for us, twice a year. Retired folk included. So midweek or Saturday afternoon, no diffferece.
Wouldn't say Tuesday at 10 be less stressful and crowded for you?
Stressful supermarket shopping? That's a first.
