Will you go shopping on the high street now?

I'm in France, in one of the regions which was very badly affected (Haut-Rhin), and for now I'm limiting my shopping to the local supermarket, even though other shops have now reopened. Anything else I can buy online or do without!

I have to say I'm not that keen on going to any shops at the moment...
Don't need any new clothes as had a small shopping spree in early February.. and as there's no where to go out to I'll stick with what I've got...

My hairdresser called me a couple of weeks ago and I've an appointment on 10th July... will see how things are by then... I cut my OH's hair on Saturday and he decided I'd done such a good job he's not going to bother going back to the barbers!

We have dental appointments early July but I'm definitely not comfortable with that so may cancel and leave until later in the year...

If the library were to open I'd return the book I still have since lockdown...

I'm just going to stick to C & C shopping, ordering from the butchers, baking our own bread and visiting the local excellent green grocers... keep our local small shops going..

Speaking from Victoria, Australia here.  Each state is on a different timeline, but I am not in a rush to go shopping.  It is also winter here so I normally limit outings during this time anyway.  I have supermarket shopped, but can manage with the clothes I have.
As for library books Caw1 I had four when they closed down.  They then offered to send us books if we told them the genre we liked or picked specific titles.  I now have 12 books and am terrified that I will miss one when I take them back.  I wish they would let me return them.
So no I’m not rushing out to the shops.

Like many others in recent years we rarely go on a shopping trip away from local shops.   We are very lucky living a few miles from a small market town where the limited shopping has been very civilised and if I can't buy something there I buy online or use click and collect.   I recently had my first unavoidable visits to the chemist and post office which felt OK and friendly.   

When we do need somthing I will try to support the local small shops - some deliver including the butcher/deli and this week will phone the wonderful woman who runs the shoe shop to see if she has replacements for some we bought from her.   Hopefully I can pay on the phone and collect

We have cut each others hair for years so that isn't a problem.  Eating out  and having a delayed operation will be the biggest issues amd will hopefully  be a long way in the future

I was wandering round my local town at just gone 8am this morning and there were about 25 people already queueing outside H&M.

I know the local shopping arcades and centres will be choc a bloc  this morning, I will not venture to them till things settle a bit more, I would rather walk along the prom but no doubt that is crowded right now, I will just sit tight till things get back to near normal, if ever

Just looking at pictures on social media, really put me off the idea of going shopping,   Hypothetical mind you as the shops are still closed here.  Our tip is reopening here today and I have a shed full of stuff but I'm waiting as I know that it will be queued out.

I have only been in town twice in 12 weeks and just to the bank will certainly not be venturing in to any shops for a long time yet ...Happy to continue with online shopping and the slots are getting a bit more available now

I only managed 1 slot, never found out what time they get released even though I was clocking on at all hours so I had to go shopping but I was sensible
