Have you considered buying from stores that normally target commercial businesses? They generally have a lot more slack right now with restaurants not running. The minimum order size is kind of high, but if you buy non-perishables it might be good? https://www.webstaurantstore.com is what I've used.

My wife has tried that but so far she's run into the 'must be a restaurant' wall. We'll try https://www.webstaurantstore.com , many thanks.

When I was in San Jose, there was a "Cash and Carry" foodservice store where one could just walk in and browse the food (I once randomly met the properietor of Psycho Donuts there, looking for new flavor ideas.) It appears to be operating under a slightly different brand now, but seems to be open the the public still?

Looks like there's a click-and-carry option, but no deliveries unless you Instacart.

We have one near us in Bellevue, WA and it has been an absolute zoo and filled with people who just seem unable to adhere to physical distance rules.
