Notes: As a healthcare provider, I implore you and your family to stay at home right now. This is absolutely necessary for us to get COVID-19 under control in our country. If you don’t do it for yourself, do it for your grandma, your co-workers, a friend who is immunocompromised, or a healthcare worker and other essential workers at the forefront of the fight. For the foreseeable future, I will be grocery shopping once every 2 weeks in order to try to stay out of the store and away from other people. If you have access to Instacart or another grocery delivery/pick-up service, that is an even better option to help reduce the spread. If you don’t go into the store, you won’t expose others if you are unknowingly sick, and you minimize your exposure as well. If you happen to find yourself in a situation where the ability to pay for 2 weeks of groceries at a time is out of the question, then please, please, pleeeease contact me by private message on Facebook (Green Life Philosophy) or click here and I will be happy to help out.
In order to make this work for my family, one week we will be eating more fresh food, and the next week we will be eating from our freezer, pantry, and storage vegetables. Hopefully you can use my ideas to keep your family eating healthy during this time. Planning definitely helps; even planning breakfast, lunch, and snacks. You may have to make adjustments and substitutions to adapt to what you have on your shelves or what is available in the store. This is a great time to get creative!
