Ways to stretch a buck...

In these challenging economic times and the holiday season fast approaching, what steps has your family taken to stretch the almighty dollar?

By the way, I, for one, value Lived there once's opinions. Sometimes I don't agree with them, sometimes I do. One thing's for sure, people who don't like what Obama is doing are just as entitled to their opinions as the Bush haters are.

Why is it that, given enough time, this space, clearly meant to share opinions, inevitably winds up as a space used to hurl personal insults?

Ya know "lived there once" it seems every time you leave a post you just have to make some kind of snide remark about President Obama. If you think McCain would not have done the bank prop ups and the such just as Obama did then you're just as crazy as you seem you are. Bush did such a crappy job (with Dick Chaney) it'll take years just to undo the knots THEY did. Chaney and Bush got rich off the war and now it's not their problem. Maybe you should just make your remaks to your mirror it's the only one who cares.

Not to worry about stretching a dollar, it is the incredible shrinking dollar that is destroying purchasing power.

In the last year alone, the dollar has dropped 15% in value.

The stock market goes up, and the dollar drops. Aside from hopeychangey Obama, who is kidding themselves thinking the economy is recovering.

1) If we can't pay we don't buy!

2) Wait till a couple of days before Christmas to shop, deals are much better.

3)Look on line for coupons or rebates of the manufactures you plan to purchase product.

Look around for a checking account that pays interest. It won't be much, but it's something.

Develope a budget and stick to it at all cost. If something is on sale, but you don't really need it, don't buy it. Keep a jar and put spare change in it at the end of the day and cash it in at the end of the month and put it into a savings account.
