This week, readers visited Brick Underground for advice on handling noisy neighbors while you're stuck at home. One tip: It's best not to address the problem in the heat of the moment. Wait and then reach out to other neighbors who may be experiencing the same aggravation, and be sure to document the situation.

If you can't go out right now, or prefer not to, companies like Instacart, Mercato, and Boxed have shoppers who pick out your items, text you when things are out of stock and suggest replacements, and then deliver your order to your front door. There's high demand right now so be sure to order in advance.
