I mostly buy clothes but with no place to go, it's pointless to buy anything new for Spring/Summer this year.

It has also occured to me that those plastic bags from QVC are extremely unsanitary, having been handled by many unwashed hands, and spent time in filthy warehouses and trucks.  The last batch I got, I opened in the garage with rubber gloves depositing the outter bags directly in the garbage can.  I really don't want to handle more.

I feel bad for my favourite spice store as they have to close their shops, but can sell online. They would fit into a parcel locker easily, but then people talk about handling packages that have been handled by how many people. Not sure if its been determined how long viruses survive on dry media. I read years ago, that newspaper is safe from bateria, but viruses?

Mainly just shopping for food, medicines, and other necessities, but...

I did order a few jigsaw puzzles from Amazon and a few clothing items from the Q last week. I already returned the Q order as the items didn’t work for me. I have 2 items in my Macy’s cart but haven’t purchased them yet. I prefer shopping in person but that’s not going to happen for awhile. Definitely missing that.

We only ever have gone shopping once a week....maybe twice if I absolutely needed an item. I do not enjoy shopping now, were before it was a form of entertainment for Me in my quite life.  

Oh well....got to go with the flow and do the right thing.

I’d say more. Making more trips to more places more often because I can’t find what I need.

For the most part, just necessities right now, and ordering online what I can. As the number of cases continue to rise, my hope will be to not have to go out in person to stores for several weeks. Not sure I'll make that goal, because I miss my fresh produce when I don't get it, but that is the plan as of now.

@FlowerBear Kohl's has said their online shopping is available.

DH picked up romaine (I check the origin), a package of broccoli and cauliflower, milk, and some dog bones.

I haven't been out.  I may forget how to drive, lol.

Well, this morning I DID place an order for my 3 Prescriptives skin care products. They are online only and I was on the fence about ordering because so much is uncertain with the economy. But I decided to go ahead.  And that will hold me for quite awhile. 

I have a $25 e gift card from the Container Store, that I want to get used this afternoon.  I plan to place an order that takes me just over $25.

Other than that, I'm closing down the shopping for fun stuff for awhile. Too much uncertainty.

This morning I did order a ring from JTV, it's a Tova ring and it was 26.99.  On Q it was much higher.  So that is my splurge for a while.  Right now just like most of you I will be purchasing what I need.  Customer service very nice as usual so I asked if she was working from home which she was.  I love rings always have.  I will still be watching jewelry shows but just window shopping

I got in some shopping earlier in the week, before things really hit the fan. Saw it coming from a neighboring state. Right now I have no desire to purchase anything. Just not feeling it at all. I will avoid even a food store for another week. Grateful for the roof over my head and the supplies I have here. Got my annual AL vites from HSN yesterday. That's about it.

G-d forbid if anything happens to the fridge/ freezer!! Are there even any stores open where it could be replaced?! I think not. This fridge came with the house, so I have no idea how old it is. I know the fridge in my previous house quit on no notice.
