Hello.
I am new here so I hope I am doing this right.
With all the changes with people and places I am having a really hard time. As well as Asperger's with savant traits I have persistent depressive disorder plus PTSD along with degenerative disc disease. It is hard to manage at the best of times. Over the past 2-3 weeks I have suffered days of meltdowns when out vs staying in bed. I have found the local shops a nightmare.
Each month I would put together an online shop with Tesco or Sainsbury's. This, as most of us find, will not be forthcoming anytime soon. After spending a week of trying to get through I was amazed to speak to someone at Sainsbury's this evening. What I have found out might be of use to others so thought best to share here. The chap told me that all slots are being booked for elderly and those with an chronic illness. My above conditions didn't meet the criteria. He recommended I try Click n Collect - he said there wouldn't be a need to join the big queue to get in as it is set for pick up at a certain time slot. He also said someone else can collect it on your behalf. The Click n Collect can not be sent to different stores. I will definitely give it a try. Like so many of us we need the same foods as taste and textures are a big deal to us.
I hope this will help some of you
