Has the economy changed your spending habits?

Tuesday July 22, 2008
It's an interesting time in our economy. Some segments of our country are really struggling and others are still experiencing a strong economy. Although sometimes I feel my collecting keeps me sane, the money isn't always available . That's when I revert to my frugal mode. I go back to clipping coupons and start hitting the garage sales.

At times my coupon clipping savings was the only money I would spend on "fun stuff". It can take a lot of time clipping and shopping, but the money savings can certainly add up.

My question to you is -- have you changed your spending habits? What are your tips for adding to your collection in a poor economy?
