(14,548 posts)Im 73. Next to my Publix is a CVS that I go to which is mostly empty because no one wants to shop at multiple stores. Wear a mask,of course. Lots of food and etc.
Do you have a produce market close by? Usually early in the morning you can get your fruits and vegetables there. If you give them a really good tip, they will wait for you and guide you through you can get whatever you need for a really good price.
I have found some of the dollar stores like family Dollar or Dollar General have frozen food and refrigerated foods and some of them are actually much better than what you find in a grocery store and noticed many people shop in there especially if you go in to one of the stores that is in a low traffic area.
Do you have a picnic areas somewhere close to you? My friends and I, several girlfriends of the same age like to meet at picnic tables with proper isolation, and sit and enjoy our afternoons. Usually they dont encourage alcoholic beverages but we do bring in our own containers of beverages such as vodka or whiskey or whatever in the mix. And everybody brings in a little bit of a snack.
Be creative and dont worry about all the other shit. We are old but we still enjoy your friends and are fun and if they want to arrest us, yay for them.
