It was written on Facebook, that when buying frozen vegetable, buy the ones that rattle in the box/bag and are loose. If they are in a block, that indicates that they have thawed and been refrozen.

DR Jane re: Costco

Can you just order the paper towels online and have them deliver it? Here they have free shipping for orders over $75. And only $3 for any one item if you are under that. I did all my Costco orders online from March through the end of the summer.

Whenever I try to order online either the item is out or I can only do Instacart. We tried Instacart once and received a substitute for the item we wanted, antibacterial soap instead of hand sanitizer. We won't be doing that again.

I just tried ordering the paper towels from Costco. When I clicked on "add to cart" it said......

The item is temporarily unavailable for delivery to ZIP code xxxxx. Inventory frequently changes, please check back later.

Instacart Shoppers obviously don't know about 1/2 the items they are shopping for. They have no clue how to do substitutions, they should call or text if there there is a question and you should be able to approve the substitutions. I stopped using them as well for that reason.

This was at the beginning of the quarantine period. The Costco website is better now at showing items not in stock. The guy asked about the item at the store and said they told him to substitute soap for sanitizer

He asked right away if we wanted it. He actually sent a text which arrived after he had already left the store. We really didn't care about the other items we ordered. They were just filler to have a large enough order. Lesson learned.

I am so glad DR Jeanne found someone who actually texts her while he is shopping.

So long as he doesn't text while he is driving.

Listening to the first two William Alwyn string quartets - not usually a fan of chamber music but these are very good.

I am watching a Merchant Ivory film I've never seen before called Le Divorce. Modern day story with Naomi Watts and Kate Hudson. Huge cast. It's fairly charming, but no great shakes.

I've never heard of that one, DR John G. Thanks for sharing.

DR John I believe you mentioned "Midnight Library". I searched to confirm it was you and nothing came up. I am now reading it.
