    Well said. My grandmother lived through the depression too, she always used to tell me about it. She told me how they didn't have much to eat and they would make a pot of beans and some mashed potatoes and use the bean juice as gravy. I could tell she must have experienced some hard times she sounded so deep and sentimental when she talked about those times. She was always really appreciative too for what she had.

    I'm glad that you have that option. Just remember the 6 foot rule when they deliver, answer the door in a hazmat suit. Lol.

    Sweet!! That's even better. Just make sure you use a megaphone when they get to the door. Tell them drop the food and step away. Lol. So then is it cheaper now to eat than before Corona?

    We get most of our dinner meals from Hello Fresh, which for us eliminates a lot of shopping and long lines that we'd normally have to deal with, everything is fresh and generally takes around a half hour to prepare.

    Being that we are staying in the house full time, this makes things easier for us and reduces the possibility of contracting the covid19 virus or so we hope.

    Think 3rd party for 2024 folks. Clean up America.

    Once I tell you that we agree to disagree there will be no more discussion between us in the thread so please don't waste your time continuing to argue your points because I will not respond.

    At least that is healthy food. If I couldn't leave for the store that is what I would get.
