The Big Whoosh: Is This The Beginning?

Inflation sure, but you have to adapt to survive. Gas high=walk more, drive less. Movies expensive=sign up for free previews, see B4 they debut. Breakfast sandwich costs $3.50=35 cents with purchases at 99 cents store (8 english muffins, 18 slices of turkey bacon, 16 slices of non fat american cheese, butter substitute: all cost 99 cents each).
Recently, my granddaughter ran my wife's BMW into a telephone pool damaging suspension, bumper and fender. Body shop repair price $5500. We are doing all for $1500 replacing both front fenders at $50 each.
It is called shopping around. Don't pay for convenience. I don't have cable tv. I have dial up internet- may have to breakdown and get $14.99 dsl. My cell phone is a prepaid card for $25 every 90 days.
Americans pay through the nose, because they want to; complain about it; but don't do anything about it. For me, finding a better deal, is fun- just the thrill of the hunt.
