F-ing A. I haven't left the house in three weeks and have a year of basic food (3 months of most things). To me, people who continue at this time the European-style habits of shopping at markets every 1-2 days or even every 1-2 weeks like most Americans are dangerously stupid.

Also, after waiting on Instacart customer support for 6 hours today without anyone answering or resolution to missing, damaged goods, and wrong quantities in a single order, even though they're YC alum, I can't honestly use them again (sorry folks). I'd rather make a trip to the markets every 6 months in indirect vent/non-vented goggles and a solid N95 NIOSH mask than pay someone else $60 to buy terrible produce and throw bags onto the ground without any care.

PS: We're "autoclaving" the mail at 170 F for 30 minutes to denature any enveloped virus "guests" and letting packages rest in the garage for 4 days before handling them.
