What do I do?

I am worried about going grocery shopping. It's causing me so much anxiety! I wear a mask and gloves but I still feel like I'm going to catch something and spread it to my family. I tried ordering online but the wait time is too long. What do I do?!

Hi ihave aquestion - thanks for this post! This is a concern shared by others on the discussion board too. It sounds like you are doing all the right steps to keep yourself and your loved ones safe. 

Some have found shifting their approach to shopping from a 'what do I want?' to 'what do I need?' helpful. Others have suggested doing big bulk shopping online (when a space is available!) and only going to the store for essentials when urgent, while they wait for their delivery.

There was a great discussion and video on best practices for shopping in the grocery store on our discussion board  you can get it by clicking here. I hope this helps!

I leave my groceries in the garage before bringing them in and then wipe them down with a Clorox wipe or rag with soap and water.
