This year has changed the way the world
works. Our world economy has changed and
the way we all deal with the pandemic has had some crazy changes in
our lives. This is a big deal for many
people and provides some areas that make a difference in our normal daily
lives. For me the one thing that I will
not give up and still enjoy going out and getting is my wonderful snacks.
I will not let masks, fear, or a silly virus stop
me from getting my glorious candy boxes from the store. The regulations be darned, because sometimes
chocolate is simply king and is a staple for a happy day in my life. No I am not being selfish or not following
protocols I am indeed following them to the letter. I just want to let you know
it is ok to go out and get a snack. It
is still important mentally to live and be happy. And for me going and finding
the candy boxes that are going to bring joy into my life is important. So what
are some good steps to stay safe and enjoy shopping?
Well the first thing is to know the local laws
and regulations that are being put into place.
Now that they are taken care of get the gear you
need to follow the law.
When it comes to staying healthy in the this year that is a very complicated ordeal.
I have to admit that health can come in a multitude of ways and it
certainly is troubling to think about how to stay healthy. The pandemic has changed so many
things and has added a lot of regulations into people's lives. I am not saying any of it is good or bad, but
I think that it has caused many people to make their lives a little unhealthy
and I want to help bring a little joy back into your life.
So the first thing to be careful of is not
enjoying the normal things in life. For
me that is candy and having a nice treat at the end of the day. I personally love getting a nice surprise at
the end of a hard workday and now that I am more lonely and trapped then ever
before I find it to be even more important.
I love going to the store normally and finding the perfect snack. Browsing all the candy boxes and seeing what
peaks my interest that day is such a joy to me.
Now everyone has their own preferences on what candy boxes look the best
or taste the best but I want to just make sure you feel that you don't need to
not get your treat!
Now in order to do this in 2020 you need to be
careful for sure. It is literally
different in almost every county so I suggest following a checklist of things
before just going out like normal and searching for that perfect treat. First I think you should look up your state
regulations pertaining to covid-19. Each
state has different restrictions and they are changing all the time. The last thing you want is to be unsafe and
or breaking the law. I find that the
state's websites in most locations is up to date and has all the general laws
to follow right on the front page. Once
you read through the current regulations its important to then find out where
your store location is that you plan on doing your shopping at.
Now go to the country website in which your
grocery store is located. From there you can follow the same path as above for
the state regulations. Once you know the
times of day you can shop, or if you are able to go out for non emergecy
reasons. Then you can find out what
masks or none are needed. There may also
be specialty regulations and from there you can finally get in your vehicle at
the right time and go shopping! As a general rule most places suggest or
regulate standing 6 feet from others and it is also good to plan on extra time
just in case the store has people restrictions.
Some stores are only allowed to have a percentage of normal capacity in
them so you may be waiting a while. Take
that into account. Now the best part is here.
You have your regulations taken care of and now you can go in and look
through all the lovely candy. Choose the
ones you want and maybe think about stocking up just in case the trip was
harder than normal.
