Tips for Shopping During Lockdown

April 14, 2020

  • If you are not cocooning please leave the online shopping slots for those who are vulnerable in our community.
  • Visit shops and supermarkets that are practicing good social distancing and hygiene.
  • Try to find shops that will let you call in advance and bring your items to your car
  • Try to limit your shopping trips to once or twice a week
  • Check your cupboards and fridge to see what items you have that need to be used up
  • Make a menu for the following days or week making sure to use up any items in your fridge and cupboard
  • Try to include recipes that don’t need a lot of ingredients in case some items aren’t in stock or recipes that are flexible on ingredients
  • Always have a few recipes on hand that use dried, tinned or frozen items as you will be able to make these no matter what
  • Make sure to include breakfast and lunch as well as dinner
  • If your family isn’t adventurous try to stick to family favourites during this time. It isn’t the time for experimenting if everyone isn’t open to it
  • Check your cupboards and fridge to see what if you have what is needed for each meal
  • Create a shopping list of what you need
  • Make sure to include fresh, tinned or frozen vegetables or fruits on your list
  • Make sure to include a treat of two
  • Eggs, flour, dairy, pasta, rice, tinned and frozen products are great to have as they are so versatile
  • Don’t stock up on items, this will cause shortages in our supermarkets.
