At the Giant today I ran into my friend Amy, who was shopping for her grandmother.
Amy spends most of her shopping dollars in the organic aisle and the produce section, so she was having a tough time locating some of the items on her grandmother's list -- dried milk and sauerkraut in particular.
"Sauerkraut. That's like kimchee, right?" she asked, sounding less than hopeful.
"I think it comes in a plastic bag," I said (big help, Tilda).
A kind shopper overheard us and directed us to the canned food aisle, and there was no shortage of sauerkraut. In fact, Amy briefly considered buying a cafeteria-sized size can of the stuff so her grandmother could share with everyone at her retirement community.
Judging from what I've seen, a lot of folks are shopping for others during this time of social distancing. It's funny to see shoppers scrunching up their faces, staring at their lists, and mumbling as they scan the shelves, searching for items they've never purchased before.
