About the only thing I changed spending wise is staying out of chain grocery stores, because the way people act, the hoarding, people that freak out when someone gets in their space, etc,etc. The mom & pop stores around me are business as usual, not that crowded and adding items as demand dictates.
Most are stocked up better than they were pre-pandemic.
I have to drive further and make more stops and of course prices are higher. I may keep that behavior for a long time.

Yeah, it really is hard to imagine people going back inside to eat in a restaurant for a very long time. That was on my list of things that i imagined would be permanently changed / lost, along with movie theaters, amusement parks, etc., due to people's fear.
I do believe that this virus isn't the "Big One", but it will be the one that changes the way we live our life forever. We will get used to the "new normal" and people as always will exist and find a way, but i think a lot of the "old way" will be gone forever.
