Crazy Crowds Everywhere Today

Went out to pick up a few things at Kroger. And so did everybody else! The lines were crazy long. Cut my shopping list short. Had to stop and get bird seed. Not too bad. Went right past Wal Mart. No way I was going in there. And yes, the final stop was the buffet. The famous $5.00 buffet. It was delicious and not crowded for a Monday. Finally back home and am so glad. I may not get out again for day. I do not like the crowds. What have you all been up to all day?

Tomorrow will be the same. The city was hustling and bustling to day.

I think the day before Christmas Eve is the worst day for crowds and I try to avoid it. Today will be better as I think we only get a few last minute shoppers. Most people like to get it all done before Christmas Eve.

I don't like crowds either, I'd sooner do without than join them. I went out to lunch with my son, he's finished work until after Christmas.

It gets crazy this time a year in any store, even the grocery stores for whatever reason. I am not into big crowds either.

@CarolDM Yep. No, I am right there with you. Sometimes you just have to do what you have to, no matter how painful the experience.

$5 for a buffet is incredible! Is this a photo you found online or an actual store you went in and saw so many people?

Yes this one I found a year or so ago. All you can eat for $5.00 fish, chicken, pork, veggies, bread, salad, dessert... on and on. And it is ALL homemade! Here is a photo of the last time I went....
Got a few errands to take care of in a few minutes. I might hit the homemade lunch buffet. It has been awhile. The photo shows what I had the last time I was...
