Food and Supplies You (Might) Need and Stuff You Definitely Don't Need Through the Coronavirus

With the pandemic taking its toll across the globe, doctors and governments have asked their fellow citizens to stay home to stop spreading the deadly contagious virus. Which, in turn, results in panic buying and saving up unwanted stocks. So to help out our customers, we have listed out the things which you need during the quarantine period.

Things you need:

•          Food supplies:

Food is inevitable, as we humans need to fuel our self with it, try to buy these three kinds of food supplies which can hold up to three weeks.

•          Canned foods
•          Dry foods
•          Frozen foods

"This is more because consumers are overstocking and buying everything in sight than anything else, odds are, you will still be able to pick up some canned, frozen, and dry items at local grocery stores. But in case people are panic buying, try to have a week's worth on hand." says shopping expert Tiara Rea-Palmer of CouponFollow.

"While it's important to stock up on a mix of dry goods like rice and pasta, and liquid, canned goods like tomatoes, beans, tuna, and soups, don't forget nonperishables like nuts and seeds."

"Sunflower seeds and oil, almonds, hazelnuts, and peanut butter are sources of Vitamin E and zinc, which can help support immune health," says Dr Steve Hertzler, nutrition scientist and registered dietitian with Abbott.

Pet foods:

If you own a pet and it's crucial time that you load up with all kinds of pet food, dry, wet and medications if your pet is prone to fall sick at regular intervals.

Medications:

If you have any severe ailments running across with one of your family member, or anyone has a condition, and they need regular medicines, then ensure you get all those medications available for a month. Buy sanitizer, baby supplies, and other hygienic products which could last for a month.
