How to Keep Your Pantry Stocked Online

Now that we all have been social distancing for a few weeks, the initial stocks of food and supplies may be dwindling. No need to go on a new buying spree, as many grocery stores and services have done a fantastic job of providing easy online shopping, curbside, and delivery options to minimize contact with others and continue providing nutritious foods and supplies to our communities.

Grocery stores across Lorain County are working hard to make getting your food easy and safe. Select Giant Eagle stores and Aldi are currently offering grocery delivery or curb-side pick-up through Instacart in limited geographic areas. Receive free delivery on the first 3 orders of $35 or more when you use the coupon code SHOPALDI20 at checkout. Dollar General offers online ordering and delivery of non-perishable items, Target offers grocery pick up for free and delivery for a fee. Walmart offers grocery delivery and the Lorain Walmart offers senior hours as does Fligner’s Market at 6 AM on Wednesdays and Apples Grocery Store on Meister Rd. that opens at 6 AM on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday for Seniors.

OSU Extension’s Family and Consumer Science team has created a “how to” for ordering groceries online as well as a step by step video! You can find this at https://lorain.osu.edu/news/grocery-ordering-online
