Clothes Shopping

DS has had a major growth spurt over the last few weeks. Before the schools shut I donated a few bags of clothes and he had about 5 pairs of bottoms left that still fit and a few tops. The plan was to go shopping one day while he was in school and buy some more stuff. I also bought a big bundle of clothes from eBay but they haven't been sent yet and probably won't for a while as the seller is in isolation. Everything at home has been up the wall with work and ill relatives that I completely forgot about buying new clothes. In the last 2 weeks he has grown more and now all his bottoms are past his ankles and his tops are too short! I know we're not going anywhere so it doesn't matter but I want him to be comfortable and we spend a lot of time on the garden.

I need to go to Asda anyway tomorrow but would I be able to grab just a few pairs of pants and tops in there or is it literally just food shopping only? I don't want to look like some CF who is just wandering round the shops and having a browse.

Can anyone help?

There is no rule than says you can only buy essential items. There's a rule that only certain shops that sell essential items can open. You can buy anything that shop sells and are only limited by restrictions laid down by the shop.

So, if a branch of Argos is within a sainsbury's and is open, you can buy what you want from it.

It would be inappropriate though for you to go mooching at things because you are bored but if you are in the shop buying essential food, then you can definitely go into the clothing section and buy clothes.

Hi OP I work for Asda. Most George departments are now 'closed' meaning you're still welcome to shop anything that's out but they're aren't any staff around to assist you, they've all been given other jobs for the time being, the fitting rooms are closed and most aren't getting clothing deliveries or are getting reduced ones so there won't be any stock in the back. Hope this helps.
