Secret Supermarket Snacks

Not really harsh, because in a lot of Catholic countries, family is far closer than in Protestant countries. I don't know why that is, but it is.
When my in-laws were alive, we ALWAYS went there for Saturday, or Sunday lunch, regardless of whether the shops were open or not. We'd probably also be there during the week. My nephews, 36 and 41 , both married, still live at home. My Portuguese neighbour has built 3 extensions to his house to accommodate his sons and daughters - and his grocery store is open all day Sunday. When by BIL's father was still alive (Italian, from Rome), we'd get invited for lunch at his house, or for lunch at a local trattoria, almost every Sunday.
17 years old in the UK and desperate to leave home and find one's own place.... not here.

Maybe because they used to have sunday off to socialise 😜
 
We normally shop at new world but every now and then we go to countdown.
It's a cheaper shop. Wife wears a disguise for this. She gets Belgium/ bologna?
Cheap processed meat. But it has veges mixed in it. Then it's called savoury luncheon.
She buys 10 slices. 5 each to be eaten with bbq sauce. It never makes it to the fridge.
Just kidding about disguise!!

That's why I loved New Orleans, many convenience stores carried booze. I also could get a beer and a beignet at 7 a.m. in the Quarter if I wanted.

Our supermarkets here carry beer and wine. No hard spirits.open sundays as well. Most bottle stores open 11am til 11 pm. 7 days. Most are privately owned. Some big chains like superliquor run specials.

Some supermarkets do not have liquor licenses, some do, but it really doesn't matter because they are all (stores that sell liquor, beer, and wine) state controlled. Ohio is one of those weird states (only a few in the US) that owns the liquor stores (they call them "state" stores) and all liquor, beer, and wine prices are the same no matter what store they are purchased in. Funny that the same entity that passes out DUIs also sells the booze.

Finally getting around to posting the hours of the liquor store (which is located inside the grocery store):

Frisco doesn't allow liquor stores. Beer and wine only in stores here, or liquor by the drink in restaurants/bars that serve food.

Towns in Texas that do allow liquor stores use these hours. This store is just outside Frisco city limits.

Beer and wine are sold in the grocery store itself, fairly large selection. I don’t know what their hours are, I think the only restriction for those is not before 11AM on Sundays.

I don’t know about PA liquor policies, but I do know they have a good selection of beer at the grocery store, but they have to actually enter your driver’s license number to clear the age check.

We don’t do anything so stupid here in Ohio - they just look at me, see wrinkles, grey in my beard, and that generally life-has-given-me-a-beatdown look in my eyes and say, “Go on, get outta here, you need it!” :laugh:

Minnesota was the worst - virtually no beer or wine in the grocery stores, and absolutely no Sunday sales, period. You forget to get beer for the Sunday football, you’re stuck drinking kool-aid.

Pennsylvania’s weird liquor laws, explained
But we still can’t buy liquor, wine, and beer to drink at home all in the same place.

This one is really fun because you can hang out at a convenience store and get drunk and harass people?

Bottle shops, grocery and convenience stores, bars, and other places can get a license to sell up to 192 fluid ounces of beer per transaction, (the equivalent of 12 16-ounce cans). You can buy more, but you’ll have to make a different trip for each transaction. But you can drink it there or take it to go.
