Nothing’s really changing for me. Mark is busy writing policies and doing other stuff to officially re-open. We’re fortunate to be in a small, isolated town. In our entire health authority (covers basically the northern half of the province) has had less than 70 cases so far. 
In terms of eating in restaurants I don’t have any plans in the near future. A friend who owns a restaurant will let small private functions happen so we’ll probably take advantage of that.

We do takeout about once a week. No chains, only the local restaurants that we want to support. Grocery shopping (mostly produce) once a week, Costco 2-3 times a month. We've been forced out of our bubble a bit with house stuff; we try to wear masks and make sure we're washing hands and disinfecting contact surfaces.
I have zero desire to return to the office anytime soon, my teeth will be fine without a dentist scraping away, although I did have my annual physical last week (mainly out of necessity of renewing my cholesterol prescription).

Most of our beverages (mexican coke, coke zero, diet mt dew, lacroix, captain morgan 
), frozen fish and veggies, brunch food (egg white, bacon, etc), various snack type things (jerky, cheese, salsa, etc), and cleaning/household stuff (TP, paper towels, wipes, detergent, etc). And I've been shopping for Nancy, too.
The main issue has been the stores have been really inconsistent with certain things, so I have to go to a different store shortly after. We also don't have enough storage in the apartment to actually stock up.

at your VERY DETAILED list you left off the Otter Pops 
I later figured it must be the not much storage room issue but just the 2 of you seemed like a lot of trips
Tanks for shopping for Nanc

I don't enjoy going to Costco... ever. It's actually better now (fewer people, none of the annoying sample pushers) but I feel bad going regularly. There's a costco on the way home from work so I would go weekly and get rotisserie chickens for dinner. So I cut back a bit
