Food shopping is especially challenging during the Pandemic for Laurie and her family. Eggs, milk, yogurt and orange juice are especially hard to find.
We all took a vow recently in our family — we would avoid grocery stores at all costs. We have several people in our house more susceptible to Covid-19 than others. No problem, we thought. We’ve been using our supermarket’s home delivery system for years. There was one small complication: Everyone else had the same idea.
Between my son, husband and yes, my mother who volunteered someone would jump on that phone or I-Pad and grab a date. Studio 54 had less late-night action. . Even then, there would only be one or two slots left.Before Covid, I could easily book a convenient between-3-and-5 p.m.-delivery time. Now I was grateful getting a window between 7:30 a.m. and 10 p.m. window two weeks away.
The good news is groceries arrive. The bad news is each delivery is half of what we ordered. Eggs, milk, yogurt and orange juice are especially hard to find. Forget toilet paper, tissues and paper towels.Last week Mom got a package of toilet paper to much applause. . It was like going to a speakeasy. They have a front office, but I had to go around back and knock on a wooden door. A small window in the top slid open.“Yes,” I replied. A few seconds later, a man wearing a mask appeared, handing over a plain brown bag.DesiredThe local Country Store is good for orange juice, milk and yogurt, but only on certain days. You have to keep checking. Even with apples, I can only buy one at a time like we’re living in 1940s Berlin.
