(36,631 posts)My son picks up groceries for his household and mine. We order online for no-contact pickup at the store. He says it goes smoother at Kroger than Walmart. It takes two trips for him and two for me to get us about a month's worth at a time.
I've ordered nails and mixed nuts through Amazon. I can get 4 cans of Planters "heart healthy mix" there but only 2 from Walmart. The nails are about the same cost as Lowe's, for the ones Lowe's carries, but they get delivered to my door from Amazon. Job security for the UPS drivers.
My project is an extension on my garage to house my little tractor and other things. If the rain quits long enough, I'll get something done this year. I had enough lumber stockpiled, but not enough nails for either hammer or nailgun. The last batch will take until May 11 to get here. Plenty for me to do until then.
I have to assume the people delivering the goods are aware and prepared. For all I know, it's the work that keeps them sane through this. We all cope in our own ways. (I know people who prefer 'cozy' apartment dwelling; I wouldn't survive in one).
Take care of yourself and try to do something that interests you every day.
