Well, now, let's see...

I used to shop at Ralphs. Then I was told that Albertson's was cheaper. This was back when I had one child. So I was buying less food, too.

Now Albertsons is as expensive as Ralph's was then (thank goodness the produce is better) but fewer choices. Don't get me started on the gas prices. Sheesh!

Recession is here, folks. They don't want to tell us so they say to be real a recession has to go on for six months. Not in my house, baby!

WTF???

Ok, I know I'm sort of new to this political thing, but are you kidding me? I just bought groceries at the 99 cent store and made $10 worth of gas last for 5 days. George doesn't think we're HEADING for a recession? We're already there!

Oh, and excuse me while I go see what crappy free food is in the kitchen at work for my lunch today as I HAVE NO MONEY.

But wait...there's hope....my tax rebate check is coming. Hmmmm.....I wonder what I'll spend it on? A vacation? A new tv? Let's see, what can I buy that will help to boost the economy? Oh, I know....I THINK I'LL USE IT TO BUY FOOD AND GAS!
