I can’t be bothered now going back to shopping after lockdown have gone a couple of times but now I’ve returned to work I just do an Iceland online shop,they’re really good. And very reliable.

I started to do on line shopping before all this, when we retired there was no need to go into town just for grocery shopping, while before we would call in on our way home from work. I wouldn't go back to store shopping, find delivery convenient, you don't always feel well to go out, saves a lot of hassle, what's not to like? Gone off browsing for clothes etc, can do that on line too.

Being over 70 and diabetic type 2 although quite well thank God, I finally got registered with Sainsbury's for on line shopping some months back and have continued ever since. For a long time now I've been to our local one for odd stuff.

Today me and hubs visited our local Morrisons as we have been away for a week and needed some provisions.

I've wondered about should I return to doing my own weekly shop instead of the weekly online delivery?

After today I think not. There was no one at the door checking numbers, no paper towel to go with sanitiser for the trolley. People pushing past you and when we queued to pay the person behind bumped into hubs with her trolley a couple of times then when we went forward with our shopping to put on the belt, she followed instead of standing back as instructed.

No, we said for the sake if around 50p for delivery the convenience, not having to get the car out etc. we'll be sticking with online shopping
