'Used to +verb' vs 'simple past'
Without any broad context and as a standalone sentence, Can I use them with simple past and adverbs of time to mean used to + verb? Would all of them sound natural and be interchangeable?

B- I used to stay/stayed at my Grandmother's house every sunday.
C- I often used to work out/worked out in the morning.
D- I had a hen. She used to lay/laid an egg every day and I used to sell/sold it at the market.
