Are you still food shopping as infrequently as possible?

[Fluffyglitterystuff]

Just wondering really who is still keeping away from supermarkets?

I was going strictly only once a week and making dinner with whatever I had in. But before lockdown I'd go 2-3 times a week to top up.

1-2 times a week. B&M and a smaller supermarket. I've only been doing this for the past month and we have been shopping in store between us just six times since lockdown began.

Was doing click and collect/delivery since the start of lockdown, but 2 weeks ago Asda did not provide me with a milk or eggs substitution and Iceland did not provide fruit or salad, so I ended up going out anyway.

Not keen. The queues, people leaning across, every aisle blocked with store assistants unpacking last night. May have to rethink where I shop.

I never enjoyed supermarket shopping pre covid and don't drive, so used to get the occasional big online shop for heavy stuff plus a few trips to the corner shop. Slots are now available again for a couple of supermarkets in my area after a few weeks where it was import, plus I started getting a fruit and veg box. So I am staying away.

Import=impossible. Stupid autocorrect.

We're shielding so still getting deliveries. To start with this was every fortnight but we are finding it easier to get slots now so I've gone to weekly. It is such a luxury. Still haven't stepped foot in a supermarket

We like fresh fruit and vegetables, salad greens, etc so shop about every second day. Here in Boston USA our local very large supermarket has made most of the aisles one way and have markers on the floor near the checkout 6 feet apart. There are disinfectant wipes near the entrance and several other locations, and hand sanitizer at each cash register. Everyone must wear a mask.

I am comfortable with this. I disinfect the handle of my trolley and use Google pay so no touching at checkout.

I think the health benefits of fresh food outweighs the very slender risk.

Twice a week as we did before - Aldi for weekly shop and Tesco for gluten free food.

I found it was costing me a fortune and I was forgetting things in when I was doing one shop in Tesco at the height of the pandemic.

My local Aldi I’ve been going to for years and I can shop in under an hour without a shopping list.

I try to go quiet times though.

I haven't been in a shop since 1828 and have been existing on a diet of regurgitated pigeons droppings

I always went once a week and haven't changed the frequency or timing.

I definitely don't wanna go shopping often. People in my area are becoming too relaxed. I used to see people wearing masks and gloves and now I am seeing less. I worry that if we start being careless then the virus would come back! ... The key is the social distance and possibly a face mask. Did you guys see the news today? Now we have to wear a mask to get on the bus..... Although I would rather walk than taking the bus.

Once a week big shop, then dh goes out to get bread and or milk essentials to top up halfway through. We whittled down our freezer (which we do before going on holiday anyway) when lockdown started.
Ordered wine through Aldi to bring to my door

This with bells on xxxx

Even without lockdown I only shop once a week and all online. Couldn't face grocery shopping multiple times a week.

We are a family of 6 but I plan well

Nope, did a few weeks of having meat/veg delivered and one big shop a week at the beginning of April, now I just go when we want or need something.

It's SO low risk. I really don't believe that I'm at any risk at all from walking past someone in a supermarket, or using a trolley after another person. Wash hands when we get back, that's it. None of your squirty sanitiser on basket handles or gelling your hands on the way in. Totally OTT.

No masks/gloves/aprons/visors either. It's Tesco. Not an operating theatre.

Yes haven’t been shopping since March.

Yes. Go once a week.
I wear a mask too. I am a teacher and have been in throughout so worry when anyone older comes too close whilst I am shopping. Wearing a mask will hopefully protect them a bit.
I also still wash and quarantine shopping and quarantine post.
If I catch covid, my bubble has to close for 14days so that leaves all those key worker children and vulnerable children with no school.
I am VERY careful.

We have had an online supermarket delivery every week for 15 years and I have practicslly never done a full shop weekly shop in person in that time. We did sometimes Dona second top up shop but since lockdown we haven't . We have relied solely on delivered or click and collect food whether from a supermarket, the local cash and carry or local food retailers and farms.
I have no desire to go inside a supermarket again so am I no hurry to go back. I can't think of anything worse than going food shopping daily buy I never have done that anyway

I've discovered Iceland deliveries, brilliant. So I've only been in a supermarket 2 times since 23 March. I used to go all the bloody time, I'm wondering what I actually bought now. I enjoy making food stretch out longer too, but that's cos I'm furloughed and have time to plan meals now.
When I was working everything was a rush.

Big food shop collected from the supermarket fortnightly and then a veg box weekly which includes milk.

I haven’t been in a supermarket since before lockdown. It has really made me reevaluate how we were shopping before.

I always shopped as needed. Wasnt a tight lockdown here
We tried to do a big shop, stock up, didnt work, got bored of having a week of meals planned out and i as good as ran to shops when fresh milk ran out lol
We like to eat depending on what we feel like that day. More food got wasted literally cos we didnt feel like it or wanna cook that night.

I’m going more often than earlier in lockdown. Our Morrison’s is always quiet and it’s actually a nicer experience than before lockdown

I do miss the team in our town centre Sainsburys. I'd be in there every working day and I haven't seen them since March .

Between three and five times a week. Two big Aldi shops and a few for fresh stuff/top-up/stuff Aldi didn't have. We don't have a car so I have to carry all the shopping myself and it's a fairly long walk to and from the shops, so I can't carry much each trip. Hence regular outings. It's not increased since the beginning of LD really, although I do feel a bit less concerned now (the infections here were down to 20 yesterday after a high of over 500 a few weeks ago). And if I need to pop into a shop when out for a walk to buy a bottle of water or whatever because I've drunk the one I brought with me, I will. I probably wouldn't have done that unless I was desperate in March/April.

One supermarket delivery a week now and that's it.

I used to do a top up maybe once a week and also go into M&S foodhall every lunch hour for lunch and a few bits. Though not going to m&s on a daily basis has saved me a fortune.

It's the queues more than anything else which is putting me off going.

I’ve been to the shops twice since the start of lockdown. Our pharmacy is in a supermarket and they refuse to deliver to our house (shielded household). But all of our food has been by home delivery

If you’ve had seen me at the supermarket yesterday you’d have thought I’d been shopping frivolously - had sparkling wine and cake making stuff only - alongside a prescription of medication. The medication was urgent but it’s DP’s birthday in three days so I thought I’d pick up the missed bits while I was there.

Not because of the virus but just because of the queues and all the regulations now.
