Shopping

March 12th, 2020 at 01:29 pm

Did I say shopping would be so much fun? I forgot -- I hate shopping! But it is a relief to have some needed stuff at home now.

I spent $51 at Aldi, $37 at PetSmart, and $19 at the vet for specialty food. I did not see empty shelves or any evidence of panic. But I wasn't looking for coveted items like sanitizer or tp.

I also spent $5 for cookies for a fundraiser.

Today I'm planning to get an oil change, with free car wash, and I will probably stop at a Jewel store to get some items I can't get at Aldi. I'm also going to take my car through the emissions-testing facility.

I got an email from one of my election team members -- the youngest one -- asking about precautions we might be taking at the election. Her parents are worried. I suspect she is going to drop out, even though I sent her the most reassuring message I could. The news keeps saying that hand sanitizer will be on hand, but no one from the clerk's office has notified the judges of that, or explained how we will get it. I have a purse-size bottle that I will bring for personal use, and of course I will wash my hands frequently.

I'm planning on a Sam's trip on Friday, for tp (it's on my list, I'm not hoarding) and paper towels, and I will look for sanitizer but don't expect to find it.

    Don't expect to find tp either - we had to go to 5 stores to find it - Sam's, Costco, Walmart, & Target were all out...Winco was the only store that had it.

    I lucked out and found hand sanitizer at Dollar Tree. i was buying bleach and mentioned I was really looking for sanitizer. Cashier said there was some on the truck they were unloading. If I could come back in a few hours I could buy up to 3. I came back within 1. I purchased 2 and a package of wipes.
