I'm finding things impossible when trying to shop for my elderly aunt.
She lives alone, I see her everyday morning n night, do any chores she has and spend time chatting (mainly about the old days!) However I feel totally inadequate with regards to her shopping needs. I have found it impossible to get toiletries, bread, milk and fresh vegetables as the shops (nevermind the shelves) are wiped clean, as if a swarm of locust has hit the shop.
Lindsay I had the same experience, yesterday afternoon, when I went to Lidls I thought war had been declared and rationing started, never seen such an empty shop in my life.
Thank goodness for people such as yourself and James Hillier, who think about other people. Xx
I've just talked with someone who stated that they were invited to my local Iceland store on Wednesdays to do their shop as an elderly person. Other stores will probably have different days?
Please pass this on to others especially the elderly!
Mick, yeah it's a great idea in principle but what about those like my aunt, who can't get out to the shops? I can't go stand in the queue with the OAPs, as I won't be let into the shop even though I would be doing her shopping.
A huge THANK YOU to Tilpix for getting bread n milk for her today. You are a 🌟 of great proportions.
Your right Lindsay. Great idea but that seems to be the Flore 🤔 Unless it's something that could be raised to their head office, with the implementation of some kind of way that a carer, or someone similiar, been able to do it for them (with ID of course) Probably a bit complicated to do and also possibly open to abuse? No I'm not saying you contact them, it's just a thought 🤔
Having said that the way things are going it may not last long anyway. As those older people that can make it, may be advised, before long, to self Isolate and stay in doors.
