The grocery stores were much easier to navigate.
LOL. It has been an education in and of itself being retired and on SS. I have learned NOT to go to the store on the day the eagle flies. With this disease, I really try to avoid crowds and the groceries that day are a 3 ring circus with loaded carts, and little screaming germ factories everywhere. Even with all the lanes open it can take an hour to get checked out. They are stocked real well though. I have learned to go the day AFTER the eagle flies. They are still well stocked, and all that is in there that day is little old ladies who have similarly learned not to go the day before.
I was under the impression that SS payments were staggered depending on the last digits of ones SS nbumber.
If that is true then there is truly no day the eagle does not fly.
•The 1st thru 10th - we pay the benefits on the second Wednesday of the month
•The 11th thru 20th - we pay the benefits on the third Wednesday of the month
•The 21st thru 31st - we pay the benefits on the fourth Wednesday of the month.
When benefits are paid
I avoid Wednesdays at the grocery just to be safe. Payments actually go out two days before the days listed above. Some banks do not post until that day. But my bank posts the day it arrives and that is always two days early. It would be nice to beat the rush and sometimes you find them really stocking things up on Tuesday. But usually, they are stocking to the midnight oil, particularly produce.
