Even though you've been working from home for a few weeks now, there's a good chance you still don't have all the gear you need. Or maybe you've been brushing up on your culinary chops during quarantine, but now your knives are dull and you're tired of cooking rice on the stovetop, but you haven't upgraded any of your kitchen tools yet. Despite most aspects of your life falling into a comfortable lockdown routine, one thing is still frustratingly inconvenient: Online shopping.

That's because a month and a half into quarantine (for many), Amazon's and Walmart's online stock is still sold out for a number of popular items, and Amazon has continued to delay shipping nonessential goods, sometimes for weeks.

It's time to branch out, and we have shopping suggestions for all your needs. While you may miss the convenience of a one-stop shop like Amazon -- particularly if you're a Prime member -- trying an alternative online retailer and going direct to the manufacturer's website could be more effective in the short term. (And if your local grocery store seems low, here are six other places to shop for food.)

Don't forget the secondhand market

Angela Lang/CNET

Just because there's a pandemic doesn't mean you don't want to try to score a deal. Normally, I'd recommend steep discounts on items listed through Amazon Warehouse Deals, but you should also consider secondhand marketplaces.

Arranging an in-person transaction through or while practicing social distancing may be a challenge, but if you meet in a public location you could transfer payment to the seller with PayPal, Venmo or Apple Pay and they can leave the item on a park bench, table or sidewalk in view of you.

Although it may be tempting to go the DIY route when you can't find items you need in stock at local stores or online, your homemade replacements might not be up to the same quality as commercial products. Handmade face masks may not protect against the novel coronavirus, and home-brew hand sanitizer could end up ineffective against germs.
