So maybe it is the sunshine...I feel a shift. I think we (American's) are "over it" with the economy and all the talk about "Great Depression in the 21st Century".
Yes- everyone has tightened their belts- but it feels like instead of going for that extra notch - that extra 1/2 inch. We, the country, said - ENOUGH - I am wealthy and I am not going to take it anymore!
Anyway- that is what I felt and told my husband last night. He isn't sure-but lets see if my gut is correct...??
How will this effect the people who do have it hard- I don't know.
Buddist Thought of the Day
In this world the wise one holds onto confidence and wisdom. Those are the greatest treasures; all other riches are pushed aside. - Buddha...

Coupons- Save Money
NPR did a program on coupons and how people can save up to 25% on their grocery bill. I started looking at the coupon sites on-line and started reading some of the blogs. I learned that it is easy to print coupons from the internet- which is great, but then I looked at the food products. Most of the coupons I found were for processed foods- foods that we don't eat.
Once, a long time ago, before we had children, my father told my husband and I that we spent too much on food. We sat down and did the math and in some ways he is correct. The average American spends about 5-7% of their budget on food we spend about 13%. Then I found this post from Thriftiness Becomes US- they were appalled that some Americans spend up to $200 a week on food. The US Cost of Food Chart for April 2008.
Cost are rising. Everything is more expensive- so it is important to look for good deals and save money on food, etc. I am not ready to compromise the health of my family by eating food that I know is not the best for them. I have a very healthy family and I do think this extra cost on good non processed food could be one of the reasons- plus in the long run it could/maybe save us $ on health care costs.
