    I don't know if it matters but Publix Supermarkets will be closed on
    Easter Sunday.

    Seems a few stores will be I saw Target is close but Walmart will be open.

    Sunday is a busy day for grocery stores too, I try to avoid going then
    and went today.

    There is also a week boycott of Walmart because they eliminated DEI.

    I rarely shop at any stores on Sunday. Too crowded after the churches
    get out (whenever that may be, 10-ish or so) and I'm not inclined to go shopping at 7AM.

    Excellent - this is why I spend my grocery money at Walmart...!!!

    The libtard weenies "boycotting" are a laughingstock...

    Same here. The thought of shopping on Sunday at any store
    holds no appeal to me. Far too crowded and finding a
    parking place within 700 feet of the store is a treasure
    hunt.

    It must be different here. We had Sunday opening only because we are so
    close to the border and stores in NY were open on Sundays. Some stores
    here are now open Sundays but they aren't very busy.

    You know, I'm not afraid of walking (I'm grateful I am able) but I still
    do not want to have to deal with a packed parking lot on a weekend. I generally plan my shopping trips to be on my way home from work during
    the week. Mondays and Tuesdays, the sales ad prices are still in effect
    from the previous week. Not that most of the things they have in those
    ads are on my shopping list. But after my job disappears I'll stick to shopping on those days when the parking lot doesn't look like people are showing up to attend a major sporting event. ;)

    LOL! I'm with you. For us it's normally Thursday as it's 5% off
    everything, even beer and wine. Seniors day. Other stores have that
    too, but different days of the week. Age is 60 to use it.

    Publix has one too but I don't know what day.

    Generally Monday and Tuesday mornings are the days to practically have
    the store to yourself.

    Publix does not have a senior discount. The do have good BOGO sales
    though. They start on Thursday, so this week I went on Monday for the
    last group and yesterday for the new ones. Happened to be some of my
    regular buys so I bought $130 of product for $65. That includes 4
    bottles of wine.

    I prefer to go between 8 and 9 and it is easy with no crowds.

    Trump attends UFC fights in Florida with star-studded cast — and
    receives insane applause while entering arena

    "Trump attends UFC fights in Florida with star-studded cast — and
    receives insane applause while entering arena

    President Trump attended UFC 314 Saturday night and received a hero’s
    welcome from the Miami MMA crowd who chanted “U-S-A!” as the president entered the arena...

    Trump arrived at the Kaseya Center just after 9 p.m. with a coterie of conservative power players including DOGE chief Elon Musk, FBI Director
    Kash Patel, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert Kennedy Jr.,
    Texas Senator Ted Cruz, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Director of
    National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard...

    The commander in chief walked in with granddaughter Kai Trump to the
    song “Taking Care of Business.”

    On the walk in, Trump greeted several high profile attendees including
    UFC announcer and podcaster Joe Rogan and Barstool Sports President Dave Portnoy...

    Later, the president was sought out by NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal, who
    gave the president a handshake and hug ringside...

    Prior to the bouts, President Trump made a prediction on Air Force One
    for who would come away the winner on the night...

    “You have a lot of good fights. Who’s going to win? Dana White. Dana
    White is going to win,” Trump joked about his supporter and CEO of the
    UFC, Fox News reported..."

    Might it be your area of Florida on the no seniors day? BOGO's are
    common everywhere it seems and we have various ones all the time. They
    rotate fairly reliably so we get extra then until the next one.

    I prefer to go between 8 and 9 and it is easy with no crowds.

    9-10 for me but it's all good during the week if not a holiday.

    BTW, I looked it up and Publix is odd with all sorts of 'policies' on
    this. Some seem to do it once a year (useless), some once a month
    (almost useless). Others just certain hours on certain days (fairly restrictive). You pretty much have to ask each store which means it's
    apt to not be well known.

    Never ran into that. They have different ones every week. Check the web
    site. They start Thursday and go to Wednesday at closing. If they have
    things I want, I buy them and save. Had a good wine special this week
    and now have six bottles of Art of the Cooper for the price of three.

    Skip the legalese and go to the store and take advantage.

    They do in several states but it varies as to when per store.

    https://www.retirefearless.com/post/publix-locations-senior-discounts/#:~:text=The%20good%20news%20is%20that

    Not every location has them but major markets do. Likely not yours as
    doesn't sound like a major market. Both Florida and SC are listed.

    Some are just once a month (not ver useful) but athers are quite
    functional with weekly days.
