comfort shopping

[Kali]

just moved something in my pending shopping cart to make my order from Amazon get free shipping - just the way I normally shop there. finally decided to get a new plastic cuttingboard that has some color to it so the rest of the house will know to NOT CUT ONIONS on it. this will be my fruit cutting board. added a coupl of cheap office type wastebaskets.

I don't have prime and in general could care less when junk arrives, but today?

"Arriving: Thursday, April 30"

1. I ordered some cat litter, since the shelves around here have been cleaned out by

hoarders. Amazon gives me a mid- to late-May delivery date.

I have 4 cats!

7. yikes!

do you have access to regular sand or even dirt? potting soil works in an emergency too. hopefully the arrival dates are just being cautious so we don't complain. I expect they will be moving stuff back to normal soon. although I have a pending item from last week that said arrival this week, but still hasn't shipped.

8. I think I might find some eventually it I keep returning to the stores, but that means

extra trips out, which I want to avoid.

14. Good idea! Thanks. nt

17. Let us know if you get the litter!!

18. Out of stock. I only use nonclumping, because the silica in clumping litter hurts my lungs.

But it's all out of stock.

19. I just was able to order 40 lbs. from Amazon, but it was expensive, and I won't get it until

sometime between May 5 and June 3 (!).

2. My in basket is loaded with 25percent off and free shipping deals

from retailers. Husband and I are quarantined and I’m not letting anyone in the house so no need for new clothes for the foreseeable future

4. saw a meme go by a while ago

something like go try on a pair of your jeans every couple of days because your pajamas lie

10. Now that is a good one....

I better do that. Think I’ll wait till tomorrow cause I just had an extra helping of Trader Joe’s dark chocolate covered orange sticks that went unnoticed until today ( I must have bought them a couple weeks ago before I locked down)

3. I ordered 1800 rolls of toilet paper today. Arrives tomorrow! nt

5. my daughter has a friend that works at Amazon

I think it is more comfort shopping. She said most orders coming in were not for things related to Covid. most were just like Kali's.

then my daughter told her what I ordered and she busted a gut laughing. In my defense, I had them in my basket for 6 months and my son needed a cable to connect his laptop directly into the modem. So I figured why not.

6. Wow, I had better order the D vitamins I take now. Don't know when they can be delivered

Normally only order when I’m down to around five tabs since I usually get it delivered over night.
Yikes!

11. Some strange things are delayed.

I ordered a cheese grater because the one I've had for some 30 years is pretty corroded. Three weeks for delivery. Is there a run on cheese graters?

13. The entire country is shopping online.

Things are going to take extra time.

15. I can wait three weeks for a cheese grater.

I just thought it was an odd thing to be delayed, since most of my other orders for miscellaneous items have come in the normal time of 2-3 days.

16. Yeah,more worried about the kitty litter shortage.

I have enough for a few weeks.
