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.

Buy gasoline/diesel fuel in the EARLY MORNING when it’s cooler than the afternoon. Gasoline is denser in cooler temperatures, which means you may get more volume for the same price. .......................

I’m the opposite. I’m blowing my kids inheritance before democrats confiscate it or make it nearly worthless.

My current behavior revolves around cutting nonessentials: Sling and Sirius are the first to go, $100 a month. Next is Medicare Part B, $192 a month (I’m covered under my wife’s plan).

The next cut hurts: canceling Oktoberfest weekend in Fredericksburg. Lodging costs went through the roof at $400 per night. My extended family has a combo birthday party that weekend, so that also put the kibosh on the trip.

I’m not giving up my wine clubs for now, at least through next year. All told, my monthly expenses will be reduced by $500 by the end of the year.
