A lot of shit is gonna die when people get their electric bills and gas goes up with the gas tax. Huge numbers of people only sat down restaurant dine a few times a month. Raising cost ate my surplus even with a $2 raise. I gave up Dunkin for homebrew or 99c refills. My secret recession coffee trick is always go to the same gas station, always buy some gas...I know some of you like to fill your tank... But believe me putting $10 in a day, buying my old fashioned newspaper or ice for the beer chest... Often they don't even charge you 99c for the coffee especially if you're friendly with the staff and neat.

The past few times we’ve eaten out Ive been terribly let down by the food given what I paid. Multiple times I found myself saying to myself I could’ve just made a similar dish at home for a lot cheaper.

Many times it is. While the upfront cost for ingredients can be pricey, many meals can be made with those ingredients, and could last you several days
