The taxi fare was $20 which was reasonable @TAB. I did think about that but actually did my online shop with Woolies. Taxis are really busy this time of year tho' I checked the local woolies in realtime whether or not stuff is on the shelves using their online store button. It lets you know if stuff is on the shelves or not or you can use their app feature to do it. I seemed to be able to get what I needed. Delivery is tomorrow morning. Hopefully it will all get here.

The cartons of water are pricey @StuF its cheaper to filter it but with exchange rate with $US and the filter not lasting long it meant I was buying filters sooner than later. The company is also in a big legal wrangle so you could not source them. Hopefully this new filter media will last longer and get everything out. Just have been washing the canister with anti bacterial dishwashing liquid and will give it another wash once it dries then insert the cartridges!

@TAB There was this amazing facebook group where people did things for people during covid. I can't remember what happened but deliveries went down on the coles/woolies websites and this lovely lady off that group brought things to my door. It was kept as a service only with contactless delivery but I was told to go to that facebook group in my area and it seemed to work out well for me.
