Whilst we try to avoid town, sometimes we can’t. After food shopping, we came home for a cuppa. An hour later, DB needed to go to town to pick up new glasses. Whilst he was in there, I popped off to do a bit of Christmas shopping for him.
Three shops for three different items. I was planning on doing most of it in Marks & Sparks but only one entrance in and a big queue so gave up.
On the way home, we zoomed into a charity shop, one picture frame, for something he is sewing. After visiting Farmfoods the other day, and deciding not to buy lamb, we changed our minds and went in there as well.
We bought two large 2.9kg legs of lamb for £30, a tin of corned beef and 6 tins of tuna, another £5 for those, then came home.
Hand sanitizer used everywhere whilst in and out the shops, never removed our masks, thoroughly washed hands when back home. Fingers crossed!
We've all learnt a whole new way of shopping this year haven't we. It's not relaxing, it's not fun and we come home tired out and just hoping for the best!!
ReplyDeleteDidn’t like shopping at the best of times, now even less.
DeleteI went in lots of charity shops in Bury St Eds today, hand sanitiser in each one and some so drippy and runny! And then cold weather and warm shops make for a runny nose which doesn't mix well with mask wearing.
ReplyDeleteAll Jolly Good Fun!
Some are like water aren’t they. The mask kept my face warm but it was very damp by the time I finished shopping, not great methinks.
DeleteIt sounds as if you took every possible precaution - I'm sure it will be fine. xx
ReplyDeleteAll we can all do is try and be safe.
DeleteNo more "Just popping in to get..." Like you, I never enjoyed shopping before Covid, now it's become a real rigmarole, and best avoided where possible! xx
ReplyDeleteWe do try but still need to food shop ourselves.
DeleteI am in and out of shops as fast as I possibly can be. Sanitize everything as well.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Seems to take forever if too busy.
DeleteI had to go into town on Monday. It was madness in a lot of places, and the queue for the local retail park was huge when I took KL to work yesterday.
ReplyDeleteShopping first thing seems to be better at the moment but it is definitely getting busier.
DeleteI generally like a stroll around our very small town centre but sadly these days I only go when I need to. It is no longer for leisure but for necessity.
ReplyDeleteHopefully next year will be better all around.
