Anyone know which grocery stores are offering delivery or curbside pickup? We should be supporting them the most, and encouraging the others to do the same.

In Lakewood, Gourmet Glatt and Evergreen both offer, but both are out of dates for at least a week. Any others?

Is it not clearly zochlin?

I would imagine except for mybe some areas at the sides, but
I have heard different opinions among local poskim but have not verified any.
So therefore AYLOR.

Worthy to add that at this time when there are no mikvas available, it's not that smart to purchase your Pesach kitchen needs online, and then struggle to figure out where to toivel them, vs. shopping at your local store with a mikva on premises.
Your correct.
But what about the amazing return policy online stores have which you dont find locally.

Been getting word that people in quarantine are shopping in stores because they have no better options. Same goes for elderly and those at-risk.
R' Uren Reich is trying to find people to work in the stores for pay, it's a huge mitzvah. Masks/gloves will be provided.

If anyone is available to work, please text 845 499-5679. Spread the word!

Very confusing to read, but in short, starting today James St NPGS will be offering curbside pickup during specific hours and deliveries.
Best to order online at GoNPGS.com

I have a whole bunch of stuff I saved for months to toivel before pesach, and now this... ::)

Serious question: Is anyone aware of any keilim mikva that is still open in NYC (that is not exclusive for store clients)?

All hardware stores I checked still have their mikva open but only for keilim bought in their store.

I would sell my pots to @CountValentine just so that he'll show up at my house to take them and then I'll trap him and force him to tell me what the UPS method is.

Great idea. DDF has everything in-house, even a goy to sell the chumez to.

Now, we are mechabed Exgingi to explain to countvalentine what this is all about, and that there is no conspiracy towards him, it's simply a way to do some MS'ing in a "kosher" way.
