Many of them simply needed to go to stores or other places simply because they simply didn’t have access to basic things otherwise. This left me thinking about what moves I can make that reduce my reliance on external services while being financially sensible, not incredibly wasteful and not requiring a ton of additional time for upkeep. The goals are simple: I want to find ways that make me less reliant on services, have less need to leave home if there are reasons not to (like, say, social distancing), and manage to achieve both of those things in a way...
