grocery shopping yesterday
Apr. 7th, 2020 08:20 amWe haven't been wearing masks to walk the dogs, since the population density is low enough in our neighborhood that staying 6 feet away from other people is easy, especially when one is walking two large dogs. So my newly-made face mask made its debut at the grocery store yesterday. This was the first time I've had to stand in line to get into the store, and people were dutifully standing ~6 feet apart in line. Fortunately, this particular store has a bunch of produce bins outdoors, so I was able to pick up some things on the list (grapefruit, lemons, limes, avocados) while waiting to get inside.
Inside the store, I think everybody was masked. Most shelves were reasonably stocked, although hand soap was skimpy, and I wasn't able to get exactly the kind of flour I was looking for, or exactly the kind of breakfast cereal I was looking for. Oh, yeah: cheese was pretty scarce, and I didn't get any. Butter, cream, yogurt, and milk were all fine.
The mask is pretty comfortable, but it does produce a certain amount of glasses-fogging, which makes it hard to read the shopping list on my phone.
Speaking of which, we each got an e-mail a few weeks ago from our shopping-list-app provider, Wunderlist, saying they'd been bought out and the app would shortly cease to work. Anybody have recommendations for a shopping-list app? Cloud-based family sharing is important. Easy re-use of previously-added-and-checked-off items is important. Automatic categorization is a nice touch: Wunderlist didn't have it, but the one I tried yesterday, AnyList, does and I can see how it could be useful. Free is nice but not essential.
