Amazon Fresh has been my main staple. They don't have any delivery openings right now, but that can change throughout the day if you stay on top of it. They don't hit you with the fees that Uber Eats i.e. prepared food delivery services do.

Whole Foods delivery also through Amazon is good, depending on what you're looking to do.

Uber Eats is good for prepared food, Grubhub seems more expensive once you get past the first time discount (which I highly recommend using).

Other than that Target, 711, and some small local stores.

Hope that helps.

Had a 6 month food supply before all of this went down. I was hoarding before hoarding became cool.

Sam Odom · 04-01-20, 11:09 AM

Cooking at home mostly... Emphasis on COOKING

INVEGA MAN · 04-01-20, 11:15 AM

Ordering food out every day!! Not bad. They tell you when its going to be ready and you drive down and park in front of place and they come out with your food

Mainly Elk from freezer.

Mix in a pheasant every now and then.

Just been doing frozen dinners and pizzas, and some carryout or drivethru. Used the pizza portal at little caesars a few times. And hit the Burger King drive-thru after ordering on the app, actually might do that again today.

Unfortunately I spent my food budget on a bedroom full of toilet paper. .so I'm currently starving and have no use for the toilet paper.

Like KLC, I'm stocked up as well and could easily survive 6 months. It's not the end of the world to forgo fresh fruits and vegetables for a while. Although not as good as fresh, I got frozen fruits and vegetables as well as canned.

A friend of mine has a small chicken farm where he is pretty much the only person ever there. I can pop over there and pick up eggs if I want.

JIBBBY · 04-01-20, 02:05 PM

I just made it back home from Vons.. What a nightmare!!!!

Waiting line out the door of Vons as they are putting a limit to people going in and coming out, security guard signally you to come in..

That sucked as I had an angry black women cuss me out in line while we were waiting as she thought I cut in front of her. Wasn't true I don't think. It took everything I had to not slap this women.. People in line were just stunned. I said Calm down Woman go ahead and she went off on me. I'm laughing now..

Anyways I made it back alive. $250 worth of food and liquor and surprisingly the shelves were reasonably stacked with everything I needed.. No paper goods and no almond milk and that was it.. Had my clorox wipes in hand and kept my distance..

She was loud and calling me a liar you name it. She even thru race in it.. She was out of her mind. The security guard didn't even say a word either. People in line were shocked, all white people. The security guard was black and just shook his head. He knew she was a loose cannon..

I was waiting for her to reach into her purse and pull out a gun or pepper spray on me. I kid you not.

Smoke · 04-01-20, 02:23 PM

I'm good friends with a farmer and a butcher

I can get whatever I need

That's real messed up man. Glad it didn't get any worse for you.

Have canned veggies and fruits. Not the fresh stuff, but they are veggies and fruits nonetheless.

Sam Odom · 04-01-20, 02:33 PM

KLC

canned stuff may be safer

most people dont soak their veg & fruit in a bleach solution then rinse well before eating

jjgold · 04-01-20, 02:35 PM

Grocery stores are fine just stay away from people and make sure they’re not crowded

Sam Odom · 04-01-20, 03:15 PM

JJ , are you still doing Chinese Take-Out ?

We all know that is your favorite

I'm big on the Healthy Choice Steamers. Cheap and good for you. Amazon Fresh and Target are best spots for these.

Buckandadime · 04-01-20, 03:28 PM

Went shopping today..
First time in 2+ weeks there was actually meat..
Chicken legs and hamburger but it was something..
People make me pro-nuclear...

This virus has killed my desire for drive thrus, carry out, and take out. I haven’t done it in weeks. I think I’ve saved a lot of money. I could deal without eating out for a while after this

Take out in the kitchens are minimum wage workers that travel to your nice hoods from populated poor hoods. Corona could be passed off in the kitchens with fast food restaurants.. They all handle that crap.

Learn to cook at home.. Google how to.. You got a stove top and oven LEARN!!! You'll eat healthier and avoid Corona..

We all have the time now to experiment in the kitchen.. Try it, best time to do so. Don't be shy and lazy.. Google food dishes and how to...

You'll save money and be better off for it..

pilebuck13 · 04-01-20, 08:20 PM

Cooking, getting low again will have to go back to store soon. Do you guys wipe down all your groceries? I hope you do as plastic and cardboard it can live on for days...

I take it you didn't read the title of the thread or you don't know what "these days" mean. If I haven't eaten out in weeks that does NOT mean I haven't eaten anything.

Just got an 8 pack of pats cheese steaks delivered to my doorstep this afternoon 1500 miles away

stevek173 · 04-01-20, 08:44 PM

Still no cart availability for Amazon Fresh or Amazon Whole Foods.

It is going to only get worse before it gets better, crew. Much, much worse.

If you find something good, STOCK THE FK UP - and be safe.

Smart man, You sound like my mother..

stevek173 · 04-02-20, 09:01 AM

Alright for those of you giving up hope on Amazon Fresh and/or Amazon Whole Foods, hang in there. You just have to keep a close eye on it and look for openings. Placed an order at 6:51 est this morning for a bunch of stuff on Fresh, I see that there are no delivery dates available now on either that or Amazon Whole Foods. Maybe it's an early bird gets the worm kind of thing. As I said I like the Healthy Fresh meals (so does everyone else) and as backup the Smartmade meals aren't bad.

I originally had an order going on Amazon Whole Foods, got tied up at work for a few minutes, and literally every item in my cart was then unavailable, lol.

So it can be done. Also around here at least if you find a small little store that has essentials stocked up they seem to be more consistent than the bigger stores.
