Not to be animal obsessed but seeing foxes has become quite routine

snowy @snowy22315 (211454) • United States 14h

I saw one for the second time streaking through the yard. I am a bit perturbed with them because they either ate or chased all the squirrels away. I think the woods just behind my house have become a killing field. Remember when I...

Have you stopped purchasing certain items due to the high prices?

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (60859) 29 Jul

Pretty much everyone I know has tried to cut back on things they used to buy, but no longer do, because of higher prices. I am always up for ideas on how to manage on less, even though I often think I am a queen in the frugality...

Marie Coyle @LadyDuck One store brags that on Wednesday they sell steaks for $5 each. Anna, I wish you could see those steaks! They are paper thin and you can see through them, and so fatty. I had no desire at all to try one.
