Whether you shop in-store, use curbside pickup or swear by delivery, here are tips experts have to help you shop during the pandemic.
If you prefer to go into the store, pinpoint the best hours to shop.

Map out your route.
This makes shopping fast and efficient.
For essentials, try small shops or pharmacies since they may be less picked over.
If you choose to have your items delivered at home, getting a delivery time slot could be the biggest hurdle.
Double up and use two services, filling your online cart in both and see which one can deliver first.
Check back often for delivery slots.
Organize your list.
This can make it easier.
Tip well.
This can make or break the quality of service since most of these apps have you tip upfront.
