Just realized my grocery list got shorter after I stopped shopping at 6am

I used to hit the store before work every Thursday and somehow left with $40 extra in snacks and stuff I didn't need. Switched to 8pm on Tuesday night last month, and now I'm out in 20 minutes with just what's on the list. Has anyone else noticed how much the time of day changes what you actually buy?

yeah totally, and now I’m convinced the store plays different music depending on the time. like at 6am it’s all upbeat pop to get you hyped to buy junk, but at night it’s some chill lo-fi that makes you want to just grab your stuff and leave. also the 6am crowd used to be 90% people who looked like they were about to fight over the last bag of frozen peas, which was oddly motivating.
