Safe & Local Food Options: Costco

Costco is famous right now for due to Americans buying out their stock of toilet paper, water bottles, and Clorox wipes in just a matter of days. Costco has made some major changes to adjust to what health officials are suggesting and creating a great experience for consumers.

I visited Costco yesterday and had a wonderful experience. I didn’t have to wait in line but was told that the reason the line is there is because they are only allowing a certain number of shoppers in the store at a time so that social distancing can be easily practiced. It is important that shoppers at any store remain 6 feet from each other. Costco is also wiping down carts, putting limits on essential items like water bottles and toilet paper, and have now opened the store on Tuesdays and Thursdays for members 60 years of age or older and members with physical disabilities to shop between 8:00am and 9:00am.

If you still don’t want to physically visit the store, Costco has partnered with Instacart to deliver groceries straight to your door! You can either download the Instacart app or visit Costco’s website and choose “same day delivery”. To make it even more user friendly, the user can choose what day you and window of time you’d prefer that they get delivered. Note: the prices are a little bit higher per item
