While people are hoarding alcohol, sanitizers, and tissue paper, our family is stocking up on fruits and vegetables. I know it's necessary to sanitize all the time, but I believe that what we need to "sanitize" first and foremost is our body. We eat fruits and vegetables every day, cook nutritious meals, get some sunshine, exercise, and get enough sleep. There's no assurance that we won't get the virus. But at least we are trying our best to be good stewards of our body while we're home. I'm thankful that our two young girls have been very cooperative. They do backyard work and try to find ways to entertain themselves. Just a while ago I purchased gourd, cabbage, papaya, and eggplant. Good thing I've got a seller who delivers them here. What do you stock up on every time you do the grocery?

That is a wise decision. We need to panic buy fruits and vegetables to strengthen our immune system

so do I. I usually pick up vegetables and fruits, or some breads to fill my small pantry.

Yesterday I bought a few dozen oranges. I'm going to get some as often as I can.

@almostoveryou I made sure I could find what I needed to get by now so had to go to a few stores to do it. I had to make sure Sophie has enough to eat so stocked up on her sand for her and her food and treats.

Seems like you have a good lifestyle. Fruits and vegetables are important. I am also trying to exercise at home.

Depending on the duration, all of it. Food, meat, fruits and vegetables. That's because I like a full pantry.
