Thread: the economy

Wow harsh you know if my hubby had to choose between coffee and soda he would be lost because with his job he needs drinks to bring to work and he truly cant get by without his caffine. Everyone has their cutbacks of what they need.

I'm choosing between milk & meat!

Wow that is harsh. We have a caffine addiction here also. We are slowly weaning ourselves off cause we cant hardly afford to buy them. It's like people that smoke or drink alcohol or anything else that can become a habit. You cant just drop it cold turkey. Let me tell you when we dont have any caffine, you dont want to be around cause we are not easy to live with. That You can bet on.

That post could be about me and hubby. No caffine = two hard to be around people. I will absolutely cut somewhere else before I will cut out my coffee.

Whelp, this week I had to choose NO milk and NO meat....Luckily I had 5 lbs of sugar and a full box of tea bags or we would all be grumpy.


Went to the Wal-Mart last night, didnt buy anything we didnt need...Oil & filter for my car so DH could change it, toilet paper, one pair of shorts for Sophie that were on clearance, cat food, so forth. Total was $65.XX. WTF? That left me with $100 for the week and before you go OH, LUCKY YOU, I need at least $70 for gas for the week and the electric bill is due MONDAY AT 8 AM. SO.........no groceries this week. We will be eating from the cabinets and that includes no fresh meat.

As a single gal with a BF, I can say we feel the pinch, we have our own places and I can't fathom living with my man, we are OLD and tired, HE is, but if I lived with him I would not feel this pinch, but it is there.
I appauld all of you with kids and more.
I really don't know how anyone does it anymore.
It is really scares me.
Food or gas?
Gas or food?
And BILLS, BILLS..
VOTE, I encourage all people to vote, I have no idea who one should vote for.
But vote, for change, this is such a good link to VENT...
It is simply, scary.
