Guest Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 I think Instacart is down for the count. What are you doing, going yourself? I have to find someone to shop for us. I'll pay about $50.00 for them to go for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Contributing Member Rigid1 Posted April 5, 2020 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted April 5, 2020 Not going everyday like I used to, but hitting to local meat market/grocery up. P, you don't have any small locally owned grocery in your area?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Contributing Member ViperGTS/Z1 Posted April 5, 2020 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted April 5, 2020 I go to store as needed and enjoy looking at all the colorful and creative masks and gloves.......I have always tried to keep my distance from other shoppers long before this 6 foot thing. Its nice to see others respect space now and not have some inconsiderate dot head smack me in the face with their turbin from being so close. I could live this way for a very long time. Thank you Corona 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the stores around here have an early hour for those over 60, stop and shop has their own delivery and most of the others will shop for you and bring it out to your car so you don't have to go in.

Try to go before 9am if possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spin_dry Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Local grocery store for me. Everyone have turned into wall walkers. I just walk down the isles and it’s like parting of the Red Sea. Pretty quick shopping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Contributing Member Blackstar Posted April 5, 2020 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted April 5, 2020 I went for the first time Wednesday. I was there at 730pm, they close at 8. There was about 20 people or so in the place. Easy to keep your distance. Most things were on the shelf. No orange juice, frozen hamburgers or hamburger buns. Buns and burgers were on my list. Big plastic dividers at the check outs so you can get near the cashier and she bagged the groceries, no helpers. Yes, seen the bandanas, dust masks and even 2 people wearing ski masks and gloves while they shopped. Hey, what ever makes you feel safe. I need to go tomorrow for my mom as she hasn't gone in over 2 weeks. People have been commenting on Facebook that the local grocery stores offering the online order with pick up have been terrible. You get home with your order and the staples are missing. No bread, no milk, no eggs, so you have to go out somewhere else and find them. Best selection at the stores is at opening. You can shop early if you are over 55 here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokin george Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 We are going Wed morning for senior time. We are getting low on some food stuff/meats and dairy. We should be good for another 3-4 weeks at least. Anything else I can make it to the local store in town Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They posted yesterday on FB that they are currently scheduling about 7 days out for pickup. I didn't see any complaints at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I've read it would be hard to get it from packaging. But I'm on a medicine that weakens my immune system, so I'd rather not take any chances.

My wife works at a grocery store, she says it's slowed down alot from when this started. She's still baffled by the people that refuse to let her bag their groceries after she rings them up, i guess they missed the part when she ran each item through the scanner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rump-rider Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 I’m going to the supermarket about every week just like normal. I just read an article about the 100 step process you should take in prepping and sanitizing everything when you go. Honestly I have no time for any of that shit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
