I am on day 36 of self-isolating. March 13th was the last day that I went into a business and it was terrifying. So, how do I have things?! Im not proud of how, but Ill tell you.
[music: Minor Swing]
Hello PaulTalkers and other viewers!
In 2020, the most a person can make in a year to be considered Very Low Income by The Affordable Housing Group of Los Angeles is $39,450.
That seems high but in 2017 the median income was $65,000 according to the Department of Numbers and the average income in 2020 is $106,000 according to salaryexplorer.com
I am considered Very Low Income and yet I still have food and essentials during QVEDA. How?!
My horrible truth is that I order deliveries from Ralphs, Instacart, and Amazon/WholeFoods.
I know that front-line sacrificial workers arent being treated well enough. But apparently, my diabetes means Im immunocompromised so if I contract COVID-19, Im likely to die.
I try not abuse the services. I wait until I only have a couple days of meals left and then I order.
When there were the instacart and amazon strikes, I did not order for a week. I had more takeout meals that week than usual.
If you are in the same situation as me and need to do this, here are some tips:
I used to get 90% of my groceries from Ralphs, the local krogers store, but its $10 local delivery charges for produce and perishables. However, if you switch to shipping which they do through FedEx, and you order $35 or more of non-perishables like boxed, bagged, and canned goods or household supplies, then shipping is free and usually takes about a week.
Ive only managed to get instacart deliveries twice. Both times, I filled up a shopping cart online (at Sprouts) and then starting at 5am, attempted to schedule a delivery every half hour until I snagged an opening. And I chose fast and flexible which meant I had no idea which day out of 3 options Id get the delivery. But since Im always home, it was fine. The delivery charge was free once, bc there was a promo, and $3.99 another time. Each time I tipped the delivery person more than usual.
Now with Amazon/WholeFoods, I again filled up my online shopping cart in advance but then I had to schedule deliveries by trying over and over about once every hour, sometimes for a couple days, until theres finally a delivery window available to jump on. And then again, I tipped the delivery person more than usual.
In our shitty, bad healthcare, low pay and benefits society, I cant encourage you to use any of those services. But if, like me, you HAVE to use them, maybe those tips can help.
Let me know what youre doing to keep your fridge and pantry stocked. Do any of my tips help?
If youd like to sing in one of my videos, please let me know!
And lets hope tomorrow is better.
