In this unprecedented period of confinement, the risk of contamination from the coronavirus is very real and forces us to change our habits. Here is a good idea suggested by several of our users and initiated by @CarolEspace on Twitter:

“Go to the supermarket alternatively. Make your order in a @WhatsApp group and balance your expenses with the @tricount app”

We like this idea for two reasons:

Firstly, it makes it easier to help neighbours with grocery shopping; by taking turns, decreasing trips to the supermarket, and limiting the need to reimburse each other directly afterwards. - this limits the physical interactions.

Then, on a “human” side, this idea helps build relationships with neighbours that you don’t necessarily know, meeting new people and / or simply help out others, which is important if your neighbours are elderly or isolated.

What do you think?
