Covid-19 Changed The Way We Shop

[haute okole]

With regard to grocery shopping, the only thing that has changed is the masks and social distancing. One of my grocery stores delivers, but I actually prefer to shop because it is the one of the few times I get out of the house. The only other time I get out of the house is to shop at Hermes. I vastly prefer to shop at Hermes now than pre-COVID. Pre-COVID, I would go to the Hermes store on a Saturday for a mother/daughter Saturday excursion and the store would be mobbed on Rodeo Dr. Now, I get an email or text inviting me to a Sunday shopping event for a 2 hour period. I get a gift bag of Champagne and chocolates and the store is empty. My daughters and I get to play dress up and they are even playing music now! Pre-COVID, Hermes did not play music. Now, the music just makes it just a little more enjoyable and French! I hope it never changes.

I also prefer online shopping but for groceries I do it personally

Me too I’ve always shopped a lot online but never for food. I know so many people who love having their groceries delivered but I will never be one. I have to be the one to personally pick out the items, I’m just too picky.

For me I'm exclusively an online shopper now. The fact clothes can't be tried on due to safety reasons instore I just prefer online shopping now.

Minus the groceries and food in general, I still like going into supermarkets but only now go during off peak hours.

I buy things online whenever I can, but for grocery shopping (especially fresh produce) I still go in person. Here it’s mandatory to wear masks in indoor public spaces & hand sanitisers are available to use at the shops (though I still carry my own sanitiser to use)

I live in the middle of BFE so I haven't been able to shop at a Mall in years. I go to NYC and LA some to shop but mostly at home and online. So the pandemic didn't change that.

i only shop online for necessities and basic items. I find that getting grocery deliveried doesn't work for me because they always make mistakes, give me wrong items etc and it cost extra so for me its not worth it
