[Harmless Teddy Bear]

We are actually buying less then we were a year ago.

So is everyone we know.

Anything we are buying are things that are needed.

Food and fuel being primary but also shoes for the kids, they will grow you know, and replacements for things that have worn out, like the hot water heater.

Does this offspring of a female dog think that this is 'splurging'?

I suppose filling up my fuel tank for winter is “ splurging” too. That cost me $1700. Last year it was $1000.
