I usually have my groceries delivered. Is that an option for you? The only problem here, in the UK, is that it's hard to get a delivery or "click and collect" slot these days. I hope they get more drivers and increase their capacity. Not their fault of course, it's the panic buying. I don't drive now but a neighbour has offered to pick up my groceries next time I shop and drive them home, while I walk thus preserving social distancing measures. Do you have neighbours who can help?I normally buy a week's worth at a time. $32.00 doesn't cover a week. I can't ask my daughter to go more than once a week. If she and her family get seriously ill, I'll be close to devastation.
I had my last delivery on Thursday: no milk, toilet rolls or hand sanitiser. None in a small supermarket nearer to me nor in town. But neighbours I passed, who were walking their dog, picked up some milk for me from another part of town and I found both milk and toilet paper in the small shop only 30 seconds walk from home! I later found out that my next-door neighbour had been in the same supermarket as I had about 20 minutes later and they were filling the shelves with hand sanitiser. Sometimes you may just have to look around.
I agree with Anastasia that local smaller shops may be the answer.Smaller markets if you have them might be the place to go. Supporting local businesses.
I feel for you though Phoebe Ann - a third of your shopping isn't good. The Lord will provide though - He has promised to! Matthew 6 v 25-34 says so.
