[quote=Coronita]that sucks. Hopefully you’re wiping down the groceries you get from some random person delivering groceries to you, since there’s no way if telling if the person is infected or not, instacart isnt screening people, and the virus can remain on surfaces for a longer time than people think.

I only order boxed food item or items that come prepackaged with a plastic bag, snd spray them disinfectant or rubbing alcohol, and unbox all cereal , packaged items outside into a container. No raw veggies or undercooked food. Have not ordered take out from anywhere because you don’t know how the handler of the food is guaranteeing food safety. Employees at Seafood city were infected while still serving food from the takeout. Now weeks later, they shut down the entire supermarket.

There are a few supermarkets around that people don’t show around as much about without the lines. Between 11-12pm, not many people, plenty of stocked food. Wear a mask and disposable gloves, bring your own plastic or paper bags and bag it yourself, toss the plastic bags (so much for the environment in the short term). Toss the disposable gloves, take a wet wipes and wipe down the steering wheel (that’s a gross event in itself). open doors by kicking it with your foot, or by hand with a wrapped paper towel. Fortunately, I was already a germa-phobe before all of this, so nothing really has changed. Aldi’s aren’t that well known and plenty of food, US grown, very little lines around noon when everyone else is eatting.[/quote]

That’s very good advice. Kind of scared to go shopping except for Costco since the ethnic store I usually go to didn’t change anything but Costco did so much to keep people safe. So Aldi’s is safe? Never been there before. Or maybe I should try Vons? I doubt I could trust stores like 99 Ranch and Hmart.

I haven’t been anywhere but Costco since the lockdwon. Would the safety ranking be like Costco > Aldi > Vons > 99 Ranch?
