What do you do when there's no extras to cut?
As the wallet becomes empty more and more things that were necessary become luxuries. Suddenly heating all the rooms in your house isn't worth it so you close off the vents in the basement. Or you put that ugly shrink wrap over the windows to save a few bucks a month on the gas bill. Then you walk to the corner store instead of driving. Or you buy Budweiser instead of Sam Adams..... Well OK I wouldn't go that far but you get the point.

We do all that already..... :(
(Except for the beer)
We also shop Salvation Army. Our local one has very high quality foot wear (they’re very picky about what they take) and we got my college daughter one pair of boots and a pair of shoes, both like new, for $8.
I have a garden and this year expect to make my own “organic” strawberry jam.

Or you buy Budweiser instead of Sam AdamsI will not willingly pay for Bud. I'm barely willing to consume it if it is provided to me at no cost, and there must be absolutely no alternative (I'll pay for better beer even if the Bud's free).
