It may be difficult to find what you need locally, however what I do in that case is buy the items online from the manufacturer direct (especially if it is a smaller USA company) instead of just buying from Amazon. The extra cost and effort is worth it for my soul and the future of this country/world. Through this journey of the last year, I also figured out that I need less, FAR LESS than I thought I needed, so saving lots of $$. It was always too easy to order from Amazon. Just a click away and BINGO what ever impulse I "needed" arrived on my doorstep in a couple of days. No more, I am FREE!

Exactly! HOpe this attitude spreads. I feel the same. I should start saving the money that I do not spend on impulse buying or convience shopping. Our values are being realighned during this time and that has to be a good thing.

Things are open where I am; they are justing mandating the damn masks. If I can't find things locally; I am shopping American or small business online.

Now reports are starting to come out that the MASKS are causing massive health problems much worse than the "pandemic". I wear one to get in and then slide it down to shop. Only been challenged once. But, can't fly if I wanted to, and you know the drill It is our greatest enemy.
