For the first situation the wife says everything will be sold out if they go shopping in the afternoon. Is that really a thing? In America you can go shopping at 3am some places and your selection won’t really be any worse than any other time.
In Japan, it would happen depending on the place you go. Thinking of a street market, early morning is always better. In the UK, it usually finishes around 2 -3 pm, and fresh vegetables are sold out. Japan may be the same as the UK.

寂しい can be read either as さびしい or さみしい, right? Is there a nuance between the two forms?
さびしいand さみしいare the same. さびしい is the standard word used in textbooks, news broadcasting, public and/or formal speech etc. さみしい is more used in conversation.
