Went shopping today....

[ Edited ]

It has been three weeks since my last outing...went to three stores ONLY because I had 20% off coupons for two of them.  Stocked up on the things I always buy....20% off is pretty good,saved about $11 plus dollars in each  store  that I used a coupon.  So about $25.00 total.

 

I went early...not much foot traffic.... tried to be careful as I could. 

I go get my flu shot this  coming Monday...so ANOTHER outing and risk of Covid.....

 

rates of Covid 19 In Washington State are on the rise again.....especially in King County where I live.  I heard that in the state of Idaho it is SO BAD they are sending patients to our hospitals here in Washington state because they have run out of room in Idaho hospitals 😢

@SeaMaiden 

 

Sorry to hear about the increases.  

Yesterday in my state we had the highest death rate so far.  

It is so sad.

 

Glad you are able to stay stocked up.

So glad to here you had a nice, much needed outing.

 

Sorry about the influx of patients in your hospital.

 

When you go to the grocery store, is everyone masked?

I went yesterday and a late 30's guy didn't have on a mask!  I just looked at him.

I think every establishment should post mandatory masks.

@SeaMaiden   If I had a fist full of 20% off coupons, there's no way I'd go to a store.  It's not worth the risk for a measly $25.  I'm not that desperate.  Just think of what you might be trading for chump change.  Sorry, but that seems very foolish.

Here in my part of SoCal, I have never seen anyone in a market without a mask. Today as I was leaving TJ's, a man was entering with out one. The worker at the door reminded him, and the man put his on.

@Kachina624  Hello. I understand.  But I tried the online ordering business....it just never worked out for me. I am very picky about  my groceries.

Sometimes people are preoccupied and honestly forget to put one on.

 

It happened to me recently when I stopped in at a corner mom & pop mini-mart.

 

 

 

I felt guilty for not wearing one, but the clerk said, "Don't worry about it."

 

 

 

 

Point is, people are not infallible, and as common as it is to wear a mask, it is still possible for one to accidentally forget to put one on.

We have a fairly high number of people in my state who choose

not to wear masks.  

 

I can not say what my feelings are about that here.
