I am a very savvy shopper. I can’t remember the last time I didn’t buy my clothes from a thrift store, or went to a movie, or out for dinner. I live alone with my dog, but any extra money goes into my bill account, for car insurance, home insurance, registration etc etc and with prices going up on food and fuel, I’m just treading water. I have just changed departments and now I don’t get penalty rates and my hours have dropped. I hope I can still scrape by.
