BIDENOMICS!
My current ‘purchasing behavior’ is to keep food on the table by shopping Loss Leaders and growing my own, buying gasoline once a week at the same station at the same time of day to ‘dollar cost average’ the selling price and to keep my house warmer in the Summer and cooler this coming Winter.
Wool socks, sweatshirts and wool caps indoors will be my ‘fashion statement’ this coming Winter. Extra quilts on the bed and a few cats thrown on there for body heat.

“Help us, Obi-Wan Trump! You’re our only hope!”
We eat at Chili's several times a month. Their 'Old Timer with Cheese' Burger deal with drink and appetizer (salad, soup or chips & salsa) for $10.99 beats all the Fast Junk Food places hands down!....................
Creditors screwed
I always heard that in bad economic times, the discount stores actually increased business because this is where people still could shop. The luxury brands or faux luxury brands are the ones that go out of business.
when the stores that provide so many lower income buyers with the things that make life more bearable at a price more can afford you just KNOW that a livable and moderately happy lifestyle has become unaffordable to the masses. the current slate of politicians would do well to realize and consider that this same dilemma for the great “unwashed” and the political “solutions” to it is what led to the French revolution and the consequent beheadings of the very leaders who thought they could “put one over on the uneducated”. our illustrious elitist leaders of today and their media sycophants have stated as much. “the people just don’t understand how much their dear leaders have done to make their lives more bearable” is the refrain AND chorus of the current media figures who love to point out that the general population is just too dumb to understand that being crushed by our own government is actually GOOD for us. perhaps the French had a point. now where is that confounded guiotine when you need one.

I thought that accountant was sniffing a lot.
We have a local chain called ‘Ollie’s’ that is what Big Lots used to be.
There’s a Big Lots within walking distance of my house...........................
Not ro mention having stores in an urban en where lawlessness runs rampant.
Pretty much, if not all of the Big Lots here in western Washington have got ‘store closing’ signs and they’ve had them up for the last month.
Nexus Capital Management is acquiring “substantially all” of Big Lots stores and business operations?.
What do they know what’s coming down the pike?.
They were going downhill when they starting selling furniture, and their food and house chemical prices started rivaling those of non discount stores. Then the dollar stores took the low end single use market away.
Big Lots! was better when it was known as pic’n save. One could always find a decent product at a very good price at a pic n save.
I hope the one on Navy Boulevard in Warrington, Florida doesn’t close. They have Victor Allen coffee K-cups cheaper than at Wal-mart, and the store is less than 5 miles from my house.
We stopped shopping there regularly years ago after they removed the hardware section of their store. That was my husband’s favorite part, and they had some good bargains on unusual items. I always enjoyed their food section, because they had unusual items not found elsewhere. Now they’re basically a furniture store with a few miscellaneous sections.
