Shopping During COVID Quarantine


It was time to leave my home and get our essential goods. My mom was thinking about doing instacart for Costco, but the items on it seemed a lot more expensive than in the store.  Our plan was to drive by and see how long the line is. If the line was really long or not moving very fast we will order our stuff through instacart.  We have made a couple of Costco trips. We went there the beginning of quarantine and again in the middle of this pandemic without having to stand in line to go in. I felt like there were more people closer together while waiting in the line to go in than just letting everyone in.  It didn't take to long to get in. We waited around 10 minutes. Thank God it was a nice sunny day.
I was surprised I was able to go in with my mom. According to the internet, most Costco is only allowing one person per membership card.  I am glad they let me go in with my mom because this allowed up to get in and out a lot faster especially since people are waiting outside to get in.  My mom took one half of Costco and I took the other.

After we were done with Costco we went over to Daily Deal to pick up cheaper items.

French Fries
Candy Bars (4 of them)

It is really hard to save money on groceries right now because it is so hard finding things so when you see something you need to grab one because you don't know when they will get it in again. If you notice there isn't many sales going on with groceries.
