[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 135150, member: 3907"] I have been very lucky in the timing of this gas crunch, since it is happening at the same time that my employer is trying to save money by reducing the amount of office space that they rent. I have been working at home a lot. Work has set me up with a toll-free teleconference number and a computer application that lets me run presentations over the internet rather than setting up face-to-face meetings. As for groceries, when prices were super-low early last year, I stocked up on everything and filled both freezers. We have been living off the contents of the freezers for the last several weeks. A lot of my recipes are "whatever's in the fridge" sort of affairs, so we have been able to manage pretty well. With husband and me both working on contract, and husband between contracts since the end of last year, we have been in belt-tightening mode anyway. The high price of gas and groceries is just an added incentive. [/QUOTE]
