If your family winds up having a longer than expected adjustment time. <br /> <br /> A lot of nice chain type restaurants offer curb side pick up. You can call in, order, then they will bring your meal out all ready to go, you pay at the curb. Never have to exit your car. Especially nice if you have little ones. Because after awhile, as an adult, you might begin to feel malnourished on fishsticks and tater tots. The kids seem to do fine with them tho! <br /> <br /> Families in more rural areas might not have this option, but it can be a life saver for us urbanites. The other thing we found was Costco. They have a lot of high quality meals ready to go, and good frozen products too. Forgive me for chiming in here, but had another big one that helped us a lot.
