I'm getting produce boxes once a week from Imperfect Foods. Availability and, sometimes, relationship of my order to what's in the box are a little erratic in these pandemic days, but that's totally understandable and I can roll with what I get.

I had already stocked my pantry well with canned and dry goods, and my freezer is full and my fridge stays as full as I can keep it (including longer-lived cheeses). I'm also preserving food as I can (I need more jars in which to pickle vegetables; looks like that'll take a few weeks). The main reason we can't just hole up for the duration is milk and eggs (and, ok, sometimes TP and paper towels). Dani ventures out to the grocery store occasionally at low tide, and some eggs are now hard-boiled and some of those pickled.

Pesach adds a monkey wrench. Normally I draw down pasta, flour, and other not-kosher-for-Pesach foods in the month before, but this year I kept and thus sold more. But I didn't restock some things close to the holiday, so when it's over I'll need flour of various types (bread, all-purpose, rye if I can get it) so we can make our own bread again. And I have no beer (Pesach strikes again), which might have to be the state of things for a while.
