How long will we talk about our economy?

It’s going to be awhile, isn’t it? I subscribe to random e-mail blasts, newsletters/updates, blogs, etc. and almost every single one talks about our failing economy, recession-proofing, and so on and so on.

Awhile back I wrote about creating one’s own economy, and not ignoring what’s happening around us but not becoming a victim to it all either. Well, it’s certainly all around us, and yes, my business has felt it. While I don’t plan on closing up shop, it does occasionally seem like an, um, ahem...”non-profit” – as there have been some “not as profitable as before” times in the biz. I refuse to give in though because you all know how much I like to shop! We MUST press on! : )

Sooooo....I’ve become friendly with places like Retail Me Not , Hot Coupon World, and Beat My Price – sites that help me save money (or get freebies) on everything from groceries to bras at Victoria’s Secret to Pizza Hut deals.

Please share some ways that you’re saving and staying afloat!
