are you buying stuff at regular prices?

am on the sidelines and will not buy anything other then groceries and gas, at the regular price...

do believe that things will pick up again....but for now ...am waiting for things to get cheaper, before i plunk down my change....on anything big....

i buy things when I need them, I already know the best times to buy things for my situation. I'll do research for big ticket items, but the small I stuff I just deal with. My time is more valuable to me than trying to save less than $50 a month on the waiting game.

Depends on what you mean by "big ticket" items. For me, that involves classic cars and real estate. I am watching those prices like a hawk, and keeping cash aside for them.

I've always been frugal, so I haven't changed much in the way of shopping.

But yeah, cash is king. Thing is, some of the big ticket items are going way down in price. Now is the time to buy those things if you can afford to pay cash. With real estate, the interest is way low, so if the job is secure, it is a good time to buy also.
