With the change in our economy and like many families we had to find ways to cut back. Sounds easy but it has been quite a challange.
First, let me say that I have had the priveledge of being the princess for many years so the first thing I did was to stop taking all my clothes to the dry cleaners and having all my shirts pressed. I did that for years as my time was a lot more valuable out front with buyers and sellers back then, but it had to go. So now I sprend Sunday afternoons catching up with my ironing. Lots of ironing.... Next thing we did was plant our own garden. Now this was definitely something a city girl liike myself ever did befofre. But I have to say it has been fun and very rewarding. Today I have strawberries, tomatoes, green and yellow peppers, onions and soon watermellons. whipee...... Now we also have used coupons, watch the prices and stopped shopping like we did before. Everyone has to do their part to survive and to continue working in this market. It hasn't been too bad...I do miss my housekeeper though,,,,,Anyone else want to share what you have had to do to make it in this market?
