With the circuit breaker period extended, we’ll be staying at home for a longer time, which means more homecooked meals. While we are still allowed to go out to get groceries, many have decided to heed the Government’s advice to stay home as much as possible.

Well, no need to worry, and no need to brave the outside yet. Here are 13 other options you can get your groceries from, from seafood and organic produce, to halal and premium goods.
