When the pandemic first started plastic gloves were hard to find (especially since even now we only go out of the house rarely and then for NEEDED items) and what we could find was expensive.
My solution was to wear plastic sandwich bags on my hands. When we find got plastic gloves they were too large for my hand – even the small size – so they were a problem for me. My solution has been to wear a glove on my left hand and plastic lunch bag on my right when we go out. In addition to being cheaper and easier to find half of what I was using, I can pull the bag off with my left gloved hand to do things such as adjusting my eyeglasses or using my credit card so I don’t these items with the “glove bag” which has been touching things in the store.
And then we can my other glove and husband’s two gloves in the now turned inside out bag for him to take to a garbage pail and toss out before we get into the car to come home. (Presuming that there is a garbage pail to use – our Post office has none outside & the one which used to be in the park adjacent to the PO and one could use is now gone and then they complain that people throw garbage on the ground – I bring ours home in the plastic bag I was just wearing and toss it in our house outside garbage. )

Fine point Sharpie works well until you use some alcohol based hand sanitizer.

Let’s just bag the whole trip.

make sure you aren’t using the kind of ink that smudges from moisture that your hand will get from being inside the sandwich bag.

Put on a latex glove FIRST, and write on it !

This is why I chisel all my memoranda in stone. Permanent, good workout, shuts down “It’s not set in stone!” comments—a zillion benefits!

Helpful worn over hands or arms filled with stitches.
