I'm the opposite. I never set foot in a store on Saturday or Sunday -- precisely because weekend shopping is the the routine (or the recreation) of the American consumer. Even when I was still working full-time, I preferred to do my errands in the evening. If I had to shop on the weekend, I made a point of being at the store when it opened and out before the parking lot began to fill.

In retirement, I benefit from the convenience of shopping after the weekend. Others have mentioned the savings on markdowns following the Saturday/Sunday crush. I also find stores restocking at the beginning of the week, and I get my pick of the freshest produce, baked goods, and dairy products.
