Online shopping: how to save during the Coronavirus
In recent days, due to the Coronavirus, we are all forced home in quarantine for quite a while "and we are allowed to go out to shop, go to work (if companies request it) and for very few other cases.
There has been a boom in recent days involving home shopping delivery services due to the fact that shopping physically, in this period, is particularly complex and shopping online seems like an excellent solution that allows you to stay quietly at home without exposing yourself to the risk of being infected.
Let's see together how to buy online saving a little money but also a lot of time.
If you are looking for suggestions on what to do at home these days, here they are:
Online shopping: yes to shopping but with criteria
Due to the "increase in requests for home deliveries, most Italian supermarkets have had problems respecting the scheduled times, in addition to the fact that the people who really need it (every day and not only at this particular time ) such as the elderly or people with disabilities, have not been able to access home services for a few days.
In short: it is true, shopping online is useful in this period but if you are in good health, arm yourself with patience and take a walk to the supermarket where you work hard to reduce the possibility of being infected.

Since, for safety reasons, it is recommended that only one member of the family go shopping, carrying bags and packs of water with them becomes problematic.
That's why you could buy it on Amazon to make things easier for you.
But it would be even better to take advantage of the moment to make a greener lifestyle choice and switch to tap water.
There are devices on the market (like this filter for about € 36) that filter the water making sure you drink clean and limescale-free water. You can collect it in glass bottles, also on Amazon and solve the problem of shopping but at the same time to give up on plastic!
