Take Family Meal Precautions During A Pandemic With These CDC Recommendations By, Lauren Kowlacki

Check what you have at home first . Take a look at the foods you already have in your refrigerator, freezer, and pantry; make sure to look at expiration dates and best by dates. This can help you plan meals around what you already have and will help you limit the number of trips to the grocery store and avoid spending money on items you don’t need. Make a shopping list . Shopping may feel more stressful at this time. Make a list ahead of time to stay focused, get the items you need, and keep your shopping trip short. Since stores may not have some specific items, create a list with general items like “fruit” or “bread.” How much should I buy? Buy what you and your family need at this time and resist the urge to buy in much larger quan- tities. Prepare a shopping list that will cover you and everyone in your household for two weeks. Eat your fresh food first. Stock your freezer and pantry with items you can eat in the second week and beyond.
