We do have other options, which we will be exploring with our very next grocery order
We tend to be pretty loyal to one particular store.
None were available. Believe me I tried everything. They were limiting supermarket capacity in the beginning so it was no picnic standing in line waiting to get in.
I didn't think of that, but you're right. They would have to hire an army of instacart shoppers to keep up with all the demand.
I’m talking about mandatory curbside / delivery. I’m not saying it should or shouldn’t be done, I just think it’s easy to provide such a service if needed.
Say it ain’t so....I thought Sweden had it all figured out. So now limited bars and no theme parks. Do you think people in Sweden will start complaining that they want to be more open like in the US"For the first time since the pandemic started, Sweden is imposing a partial lockdown on bars and restaurants by banning the sale of alcohol after 10 p.m.
The restriction marks a departure from the country’s previous guidelines that relied mainly on voluntary measures to stop transmission. The new measure applies across the country from Nov. 20 and means all businesses with a license to serve alcohol must close by 10:30 p.m.
“We are facing a situation that could turn black as night,” Prime Minister Stefan Lofven said at a press conference in Stockholm. “We risk ending up in the situation we had last spring.”
Amid a new wave of curbs on movement, authorities in 13 of Sweden’s 21 regions have issued recommendations that, among other things, urge citizens to avoid physical contact with people with whom they don’t share a home.
Tougher Measures
Swedish Covid cases sets new records and patients in ICU increase
But those guidelines appear to be having limited effect. In the past week, the number of daily coronavirus cases hit a record and hospitals are seeing a rising influx of patients.
Lofven said he’s ready to consider stricter measures to limit public gatherings, if the latest steps fail to rein in infections.
On Wednesday, 129 patients with Covid-19 were being treated in intensive-care units. While that is less than a quarter of the peak seen in April, the number of ICU patients has doubled in the past 10 days.
How Sweden acts now will determine “if we will be able to celebrate Christmas as normal,” the prime minister said."

We have Walmart pickup and delivery or JayC pickup. Walmart delivery is usually booked 3 days forward and pickups are booked the same day. It took Covid just to get Doordash here
Taxes and fees. Zoning. Restrictions. Communication campaigns. Asking nicely. Setting a good example. There are loads of things that are allowed but discouraged.
Unless we change the rules and open the store only to shoppers for services like Instacart. Require that they deliver to more than one household, give them mandatory training for health precautions, etc. We can be a bit more creative here, people!
I'm fond of the peanut butter fudgeWhy not just ramp up production of MREs and that's all you get.
. And the heat packs are entertaining
Good strategy for preserving toilet paper. Those things are really constipating.Why not just ramp up production of MREs and that's all you get.
I think we’ll just have to agree to disagree on this. It’s really hard for people to figure out what to do and not do these days. I‘d prefer the government just put out one set of requirements and stick to it. One of the biggest problems from the start of this pandemic in the US has been a lack of a consistent message and poor communication from the various levels of government.
Its the complete opposite here. The message has been the same from all levels of government. Wear a mask, social distancing, wash your hands and stay home when sick.
I’m in NJ also, and I truly believe this measure is a strategic small step to prepare everyone for a larger step coming soon. I don’t think there are very many people dining indoors past 10pm.
