I am usually an upbeat person, but the economy has me down. I am so depressed and sad. It is great that we have a new president and I really hope he can clean up some of this mess. People are losing homes and jobs left and right and the big companies are getting bailed out? Well through these times I have been looking high and low for bargains.

Wal-Mart and The Dollar Tree have great everyday items. The Dollar Tree carries some food items like cake mixes and cooking spices. Everything is 1.00 they even have greeting cards 2 for 1.00. There is a cool store called Plato’s Closet and there you can sell items such as clothing, DVD’s and household items. If you buy online try freeshipping.com. I have tried looking into the thrift stores such as ARC and the Goodwill but some of their items are priced too high for the condition it is in.

Happy buying and I will continue to hunt for savings. Good Luck and if there is anyone out there like me who is feeling down, just know you are not alone! Keep your chin up!
