And then they say it's because it was almost free because of the coupons. They are proud of their entire rooms that look like grocery stores. All we can think of is, if they are going to do it to give to charity or needy organization, more power to them....but if they are just keeping it "because it was cheap", that's a whole other mindset (and not a good one). I hear ya, not much rationing would happen these days I'm afraid, most people would not be able to live up to it. 1st Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04861609647607912193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-20010824949624081222015-10-19T00:17:12.521-05:002015-10-19T00:17:12.521-05:00I was laughing at the thoughts of rationing today....I was laughing at the thoughts of rationing today. Have you seen the Coupon TV shows? People will clear the shelves of an item they neither need nor want just to get the deal because they save more than the cost of the item. I watched one lady buy over 200 bottles of tabasco once because she "made" 4 cents per bottle. With a mindset like that I can't imagine rationing being an easy sell here.Anne in the kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01533249631969001657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-2146363970380800782015-10-18T18:12:51.916-05:002015-10-18T18:12:51.916-05:00Hey, you adapted, or at least your Mother did and ...Hey, you adapted, or at least your Mother did and you followed along and did the right thing.

Amen to your thoughts too...we are kind of going a bit more minimalist as well...but we'll see how it all works out. We want the apt to be minimalist. Less clutter to deal with when we come home from work. Of course the farm is a different story, ha. 1st Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04861609647607912193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-59132890644472129932015-10-18T17:49:30.188-05:002015-10-18T17:49:30.188-05:00Was a wartime baby in UK so remember rationing qui...Was a wartime baby in UK so remember rationing quite well.

I remember old folks talking about rationing during the war and how bad things were during the depression. I try to live frugally, but I still splurge on a lot of things I don't really need!
