 2. Pocket size hand sanitizer

Now more than ever before is the time to buy a highly alcohol concentrated hand sanitizer (ABHR with greater than 60% ethanol or 70% isopropanol as recommended by the CDC). As lockdown eases, you’ll meet friends at parks and other places where water and soap may not be available. Keep a small bottle of hand sanitizer in your pocket, a bigger bottle will be a nuisance to carry. It will be your best life insurance for now.

Can’t afford a treadmill but still want to get the desired shape out of exercising? Get a pair of dumbbells to maintain and build your muscles, and a skipping/jump rope to retain and improve your stamina. These two are better than expensive treadmills and do not consume any power. Easing lockdown shouldn’t cost more than it has already, take it slow save more. https://amzn.to/31IGLlX   https://amzn.to/3e5OEVr

5. Online games and gift cards as trophies

After spending hours playing Risk online with friends from the world over on three occasions, my interest squinted and thawed. Quite surprisingly, it was renewed entirely when I realised we could play for a price instead. So for the first time, I put a gift card as the trophy for the game. I made a schedule for the next person to do same, we all acknowledge how serious and fun our long hours of playing online games have turned into. Something far rewarding than just winning a game.  As lockdown eases, still maintain the social distance, pla online games. https://amzn.to/3e0krXJ   https://amzn.to/38ouJQf

Don’t buy brands, buy what’s within your budget, comfortable, and looks good on you. Now is exactly the right time to be frugal and thrifty, so don't buy brands because no one is watching, we just want to be alive and safe. You need to keep everything simple and make every penny count, cut yourself some slack from the luxury world.
