At a time when people are being told to stay inside due to COVID-19, many in Saskatchewan are turning to online shopping to order essential services such as groceries.
However, many large grocery chains are having trouble keeping up with demand. Regina resident Amanda Evans says she’s had to wait an upwards of a week before receiving orders, saying that on one occasion she had her order cancelled altogether. “I have a child who is high risk, so I have been instructed to not take him into the grocery store.
I’m a single mom, and for my son’s safety, I should not enter the store…I also have asthma,” Evans said. “It is quite stressful, knowing I may not be able to get the things we need, and that we have to wait a week, or plan that far in
