We must be in a recession
I just heard on the news yesterday that they are rationing how much rice you can buy at Sams and BJ's wholesale clubs, the last time I heard about rationing was during the Great Depression, my parents lived through that. Besides that, gas prices are out of sight, thus food costs have gone up at the market, people are losing jobs, their homes, and we are not in a recession? I just can't believe that.
I finally found a job, it's just part time, but at least it is a job, I am so grateful, I was afraid I was going to lose my condo, I have a mortgage, condo fees each month, life hasn't been easy.
We have an Aldis grocery store that just opened in our town, so I go there when I can even though they are not like a regular grocers, they don't have everything other grocers have, but they are a discount grocer, so it does help me with my budget.
How is everyone else coping these days? How are you getting by? I think if we all shared suggestions, we might be able to help one another ride out the storm so to speak.
I usually only buy what I need to get buy, I pay my mortgage, buy a few groceries. Sometimes I go to Subway, but a footlong, eat one half for lunch, the other half for dinner, you do what you've got to do.
I don't normally shop for clothing unless it is needed, and I do like having clothing thrift stores nearby, they are inexpensive. Just hold things up to the light to make sure there are no holes in them. Stains can be removed using Lestoil, just not if the garment is red or pink, then it makes a white stain.
Hang in there everyone! Sending alot of hugs your way!
