It seems you can pretty easily find what would be considered "non-essentials" on line. I've been bombarded with "sale" emails, even by companies who rarely (if ever) reduce their products.
Someone on here enabled me to check out Nuts.com and they restocked an item that I had wanted (dark chocolate covered cocoa nibs, which I bought solely for the nutritional benefits, :-). I, too, am worried about the small, local businesses. Some of them are offering online sales (Poetry and Prose, here in the DC-area, a local independent book store that's a favorite of ours). You can still buy local if check online---to include ordering from restaurants. In addition, a local supplier for restaurants is selling fresh produce/products a few times a week---at wholesale prices---to the public, offering curbside pickup at locations. |

Yesterday there was a full page ad in our local paper (online subscription) from a restaurant supplier in a nearby industrial park offering online ordering with curbside pick-up, or even home delivery for orders of $300+. I had no idea this place even existed, but I was happy to learn about it as an option!

I got a "small" box of fruit and veggies delivered yesterday by a company in a neighboring town that supplies restaurants. It was $15.00 delivery charge for purchases up to $150.00. Mine was only $35, so kinda steep as a percentage of purchase, but it had a huge amount of stuff, and I love fresh produce.
I wouldn't have heard of or tried them before all this stay in the house business.
