roamingguy 300292 Report post Posted September 22, 2020 A panicked purchase today. I've been in 100% self isolation for the past few days (no nothing wrong...ok some may say that's debatable LOL) but my coffee intake increased (surprise) I realized I wouldn't have enough coffee till grocery shopping day so I went out to pick up a box of Keurig Starbucks Sumatra flavoured coffee☕ While at the grocery store I did a bad bad thing...picked up a bag of chips too I found out no matter how small your purchase will be you MUST use a shopping cart though...I could have carried everything in one hand and used my cane. But told it's also to keep separation between shoppers...found it funny big shopping cart, box of Keurig and bag of chips and that was it. I know, a rambling about not much at all LOL But I have coffee RG 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

roamingguy 300292 Report post Posted September 29, 2020 Took the truck in for servicing this morning (oil change, multi point vehicle inspection, tires rotated) All went well (I guess) except in my future (well my truck's future) new brakes will be needed. Fortunately they didn't try to make it seem like an immediate crisis for them to deal with now, so I'll save my pennies and take it in likely Jan or Feb. But after that I went home the long way home....why you may ask. From the garage the long way home takes me by the cheese factory. And yes I stopped for some cheese...10 year old cheddar, jalapeno&red chili cheese (not for children), mozzarella with onion and fresh from the factory itself, a big bag of fresh curd After that home A rambling Looking forward to dinner...a fresh bag of curd washed down with a Becks no alcohol beer RG 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest lydiahardwood Report post Posted October 1, 2020 Some new gym leggings from Alphalete! Ladies - can't recommend this brand enough. I use Depop to buy second hand as it's cheaper, you often find out of stock items and it's more environmentally friendly ♻️ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted October 1, 2020 On top of normal groceries, I'm topping up on lockdown supplies. Without going overboard, better be prepared for what winter could be. The combination of flu and COVID will likely not be pretty. Also slowly starting X-Mas shopping to avoid the usual late November/December delivery mayhem.

OldandNerdy 1304 Report post Posted October 2, 2020 Yeah, I usually have a 2 week supply of backup food, nothing crazy, but I keep the freezer stocked and keep a supply of canned goods, just in case something bad happens. But in the spring I started keeping a list of things that were difficult to find locally. - flour - yeast - water jugs (water cooler) - cold meds (good old buckleys cold and fku - Tylenol (really? Do you need 20 bottles of it dude ahead of me in Costco) - hand sanitizer - frozen veggies These are the things I'm stocking up again now. Note: stocking up, not hoarding. Please everyone don't hoard. Also, its good to have a 2 week run of antibiotics on hand, but maybe that's the prepper in me. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roamingguy 300292 Report post Posted October 10, 2020 On the way to the hospital (don't worry, it was for my MRI long overdue) I deked by the cheese factory and picked up salsa cheese, jalapeno & red chili cheese (not for kids), and mozzarella with onion, oh and a bag of fresh curd for dinner RG 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
