Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

Portable disinfectant spray or wipes
Hand sanitizer

Step1

When you get to the store, disinfect the handle of the buggy. Many stores will have a container of disinfectant wipes by the carts. If not, use a good disinfectant spray or wipes that you brought with you.

Step2

After picking up meat packages, use some hand sanitizer to kill any salmonella bacteria.

Step3

Next, remember not to touch your face as you shop. Germs you pick up by touching items will be transfered to your mouth, eyes and nose.

Step4

When you get to your car, use a dollop of hand sanitizer so that you don't transfer any viruses to your car.

Step5

At home make sure that you wash all of your produce well before you put into the fridge and wash your hands after touching meat.
