I’m sorry for bringing this topic to the budget board but this is uncharted territory and I really don’t know what to do.
My husband criticized me today for going to the grocery store for the second time in a week. I went Thursday to BJ’s and picked up enough to last us about a week and a half while being careful to leave enough for others. I usually only go once a week and try to budget shop as much as I can however the current circumstances have drastically changed how I normally shop. I went at 7:30 this morning and many shelves were empty. I was glad to be able to pick up a few frozen meals even though it’s not something I would ever buy because they are so processed. I’m only attempting to have two weeks of food on hand. I don’t think I’m being extreme but I’m trying to stay slightly ahead of things. Husband thinks we should just continue as normal. Do others out there agree? Am I being paranoid?
We are fortunate that it is only the two of us, my heart goes out to all of you will kids and extended family that you may be caring for.
