Has the pandemic affected the way you buy, sell, or use products and services? If so, how?

I was already hooked on shopping online at my favorite retailer before the pandemic, but now I buy literally everything online. Groceries, clothes for the family, impulse buys, gifts, meals, coffee. It’s amazingly convenient although when I looked at our spending over the last six months I couldn’t believe how much generic “shopping” I had done. Though, to my credit, I often order lots of alternatives and return everything that didn’t fit/didn’t like/whatnot, so I think (hope) those numbers may be a bit inflated. I think after winter holiday shopping it will be time to give my credit cards a little break.
