For the first time in over a month, I finally went grocery shopping. I went to my usual three stores (Aldi, Super A Market, Safeway), which may not have been the best idea, but you have to go to all three to get the best prices, and besides, it was great to get out of the house and do something fun (I love grocery shopping).

It puts out anything from a light fog to a heavy mist.

All the pre-packaged items were spread out, then heavily misted with a 75 ppm bleach solution, turn over, repeat:

All the fresh produce was soaked in a 50 ppm bleach solution, then rinsed and allowed to dry:

Nothing will be touched until tomorrow . . . I’m a little bit excited thinking about all the things I can make – – I’ll probably just start with a simple salad, a real treat!
