So we decided to make a good use of our day. It is a holiday here, though not in all offices. We went to buy "some" grocery. And well grocery is never 'some'. Its demand keeps on coming up again and again. So we ended up buying a lot of things - fruits, veggies, milk, rice, wheat flour etc etc. Plus snacks etc... So we ran over budget of course. Now we are tired and hungry. I might come back for some night shift here..... Happy Good Friday

@anil02 We decided to go at a time of low rush, but by the time we came out, more people were coming although distance was followed and masks were on for all.

@anil02 Yet things are now getting critical again. 89k cases in India yesterday. Now it is alarming.

@anil02 I think you would need to have less number of guests in that case.

@CarolDM Yes quite more towards excess buys. Yet some of the things would last quite long.

@m_audrey6788 So it must be early summers there. I think in Germany too, we have areas which have more cold weather and others with less cold weather.

@m_audrey6788 Yes that can be enjoyable but be careful as one can catch Flu in changing weather.

@LadyDuck May be the cars might have been there but were the people not following proper protocols?

You did well even though you went over your budget.

@just4him On the plus side, some of the things would last for more than a month. Of course, fast perishables like Vegetables and Fruits whose stocks need replenishment after a few days.

@just4him Yes there are a few dry ration things that one can have for perhaps a few months.
