I spent some time making up a healthy menu for next week. Made the shopping list and could not get over half the things I needed. I could not get any frozen veggies at all. I could not get canned beans. It was ridiculous... we went to 3 stores. Had to wait in line just to get in.

And I find that when I am frazzled wearing a mask makes me feel claustrophobic. It took 3 hours..and to add to the annoyance my glasses kept fogging up and I could not see.

I'm sorry to hear you had such a problem getting the groceries you wanted. It seems to have settled down here at last so hopefully it will there as well. I'd hate to wear a mask, I don't go out beyond the garden so it's not an issue at the moment.

I figure Ill have to get used to the mask as I want to get out of the house.

i'm starting to get kind of concerned about my friends living in high-pop areas, especially the ones without automobiles. do you have a back-up plan if stuff goes to heck? have you looked into ordering groceries online and having delivered?

they take more prep-time, but if i were you and having trouble finding canned beans, i'd consider doing a bulk order of dried beans.

I have thought of ordering on line. It's just that I am not keen on using my credit cards on line since I have been hacked twice.

i just saw a commercial for a new service call Privacy, where they will let you create virtual payment cards off your bank account (kind of like a firewall between your account number and the payee) specifically to prevent your information being stolen. they will supposedly let you do up to 12 cards a month for no fee. i'll see if i can find the link.

I had the same issue with my goggles fogging up. Next time I go out I'm going to see if any of these tricks work.

[ravena_kade]

I've had the same problems. I've pretty much given up on getting everything on my grocery list in any one trip. My shopping is more, if they have it and I eat it, pick it up while it's in stock.
