Shopping in an Apron Mask
Grocery shopping can be a time-consuming task, but I sure do miss running into a store to pick up exactly what I want when I want it. As advised by the CDC, I avoid going into the stores. Either a younger family member shops for me or I order from Instacart. The experience is mostly […]
