They are probally getting out of work and picking the kids up.
I know my mom would often run to the grocery store around dinner time because she would need at least one thing for dinner. She really didn't meal plan and worked.
I try to do my grocery shopping earlier in the day but sometimes the day gets away from me. I'll say after this task then we will go, then the baby needs to nurse and falls asleep and I'm not waking a baby unless I have to. And then the kids still aren't dressed and no one can find there shoes and if they can they don't want to wear those shoes- I tell them to anyway and then there is whinning. Then they run upstairs to grab a doll that has to come too and the baby poops. It's a whole thing getting kids out of the house sometimes and before I know it it's 4:30 and grocery shopping always takes longer than I think it will.
Usually we do still manage the morning though because it's easier to shop with kids when the store isn't so busy.
