Over the past several months, the economic outlook has become
increasingly dismal. NBC Nightly News has been covering the crisis from
every angle — from high gas prices to the mortgage mess to the recent
purchase of Bear Stearns by JP Morgan at a rock-bottom price — and now
we'd like to hear from you.
What kind of adjustments have you made in
the face of a weakening economy?
Although grocery prices are rising, I have made a conscious effort to prepare my meals at home. Being a young, single, person with no children…it’s been challenging, but I’ve saved money and lost a few pounds.
When purchasing a gallon of milk costs $5.00 not that blows! This year I have planted a garden and adjusted my diet, eating a healthier vegetarian and chicken diet, no I will not be raising no farm animals. Just limiting the items I have to spend extra money on. Besides my vegetables are pestiside free – organic. LOL, me a farm girl, LOL.
On a side note, they just making it hard for a brother at the Whitehouse. They will serve his presidency up with a pile of “stanking poopoo.”
In light of the economy and the extremely high gas prices which are having a domino effect on almost everything else, I plan my trips to grocery store, Sam’s Club, etc. I have always reviewed the sales paper from Ultra, Jewel, but I really look at who has what, so that I can attempt to make my trip to the store efficient.
I have a mid-size car and when $20.00 only buy me a little more than a quarter of a tank of gas, it is time for me to buy a Vespa Scooter. I can see me now riding to church on my Vespa with helmet and all.

Classy, Father Michael Pfleger said what everyone was thinking, so what’s the big deal? LOL! Hillary is crying sexism now…oh my…this is about to get interesting…and ugly.
