20. I've been out of luck trying for about a week now

Mon Apr 6, 2020, 09:50 PM

Apr 2020

I've got carts built up on amazon, target, and a few other places, but I haven't been able to get a delivery window.

Fortunately I've got plenty of food to get by if necessary--these are mostly just topping off some pantry items and trying to get some fresh fruit and dairy. I can get milk from the corner store if need be, but I'm a single parent and don't want to haul my kid to the grocery store under these circumstances.
