My shopping routine:
Items I have on me at time of entering store:
*Waist-pack containing wallet and phone. They will NOT be accessed at all in the store. They do not remain in the car for fear of stolen car.
*Hanging from Left belt loop is a tiny bottle of hand sanitizer.
*Hanging from right belt loop are car keys.
*In right hand pocket is credit card and store loyalty card. In same pocket is paper handwritten shopping list.
Face mask is donned as I lock up car and approach store.
In store, I select merchandise. I go thru check out, using credit card and loyalty card to pay for items.
Leave store, Approach car, halt carriage, immediately sanitize Hands.
Unlock car and place items in car.
Sanitize hands again and enter car. Place mask and waist pack on passenger seat.
Drive home.
Remove packages to garage. Hubby and I sanitize all items(Cereal boxes, jar etc) or wasH in sink like apples, etc.
I wipe off credit and loyalty cards. Phone is removed from waistpack and wiped down. Wallet remains in Waistpack, along with receipts and sanitizer and car keys Which are All dumped in an area and left untouched until needed or 3 days have elapsed.
My clothes are changed and dumped in the wash.
Been doing this for 2 months and feeling pretty safe so far.
