Governments and leaders have been talking about the 'new normal' for the past couple years. If you think your home has not been changed under the stress caused by Covid-19, look around you! The ongoing pandemic has changed life as we knew it, replacing it with an adaptable environment.
A Virginia-based real estate company, Homes.com surveyed 1,000 people throughout the US. Here's what's changed:
More meals at home
Lot more people have become home chefs, thanks to the corona quarantine. With dining out not much of a preferable option these days, the survey revealed over a third of respondents are now cooking more than they have in years.
More cleaning around the house
If retail sales weren't hints enough, a full 80 per cent of those surveyed claimed to have stocked up on various cleaning supplies. Disinfecting has never been more important.
Buying bidets
In the battle of the toilets, bidets have, well, let's just say, not fared so well. With stores strapped for toilet paper, many homes have switched over to bidets, with sales increasing as much as ten-fold.
Saving money
One of the biggest outcomes of the pandemic, with people losing their jobs and many of us struggling financially, we have become more mindful of where we spend our moolah! Many have noticed their spending go down drastically, with some even saving quite a bit. With no more eating out or going out for entertainment, let's just say we have no complaints living under lockdown.
