Is there anything you will do differently when this is over?

Nope. The economy will be back after a while.

I'll adjust my subscribe and save for TP back to every 2 months instead of 4

ive lost a lot of weight so I may keep eating at home more.

Have you thought about the negative impact that will have on our economy?

I will use toilet paper after a piss again.

I have been cooking way more unhealthy than we usually do. Really our of sheer boredom. That will have to change soon

Cooking worse and eating/snacking way more frequently. It doesn’t help that my ‘office is now my kitchen table, so I pass my fridge/pantry about 9,000 times/day, I’ve got ready access to things I normally wouldn’t have, but need now that kids are home 24/7 like chips and ritz crackers. I also made a LARGE pot of chicken spaghetti that I passed out to family/friends, but kept a big container. It was gone in 24 hours, mostly from my wife and I.

But it has reminded me that I CAN cook every night and we don’t HAVE TO eat out/pick up a couple times a week. Not having after school activities has helped a lot, too

I'm fortunate that our income hasn't been affected. We have shopped at our local market pretty much the same as we always have. We go about every 3-4 days for perishables. We both agreed early on that we would try to keep everything as normal as possible primarily to prevent our kids from worrying unnecessarily.

If there is anything I would do differently, I plan to patronize the local places more often when I can.

Think I'll do more leisurely walks. Though I exercise regularly, never really appreciated how calming a walk can be.

ETA: Forgot this was FDB On the food side, I am, likely, going to shop a bit more at local markets.

Probably buy more artisanal breads when given the chance over bagged sliced bread. It just tastes so much better for everythign, toast, sandwiches, snacks, etc.
I've learned that baking bread at home is messy, hard to do correctly as a newbie, and generally not good.

Homemade biscuits are delicious, but man, that shite is unhealthy! Probably won't make those too often.

Also, I'll probably use my freezer more and buy meats on special. We always just went to the store whenever we needed something and didn't use our freezers at all except for meals where we had large amounts of leftovers.

Also, I had the bright idea to chop up and freeze a bunch of onions in a gallon bag. If I would do that again, I'd put them in smaller bags. I didn't think that it would all freeze together into one giant onion block of ice.
