On Saturday, July 8, my mobility scooter and I entered a grocery store for the first time in three years. As a high-risk, disabled senior, I’ve had to depend on grocery delivery throughout the pandemic. As finances tighten, that medical safety is no longer an option. In my N95 mask at No Frills, I grabbed seven items for $36.21. Then it hit me. I expected to pay twice that because that’s what I’ve been paying online.
