in 2011. Prices could go up anywhere from
40-70% due to China not producing enough??
I'm not sure of exact details.
Think about how much cotton we use day to day
from clothes, bedding, towels and so on.
So that is a scary thought.
So time to hold onto your items a little longer
and shop more yard sales and thrift stores
providing they don't have a price jump as well.
------------------------------------------
Here's a couple web sites I found for
those who might be facing hardship in 2011.
Free Medical & Dental clinics in Columbus
---------------------------
Facing power outages or electric shut off in the Winter,
try a propane powered radiant vent free heater,
no electric required. A little pricey at $100-$200
but better than freezing to death!

I've already told you I've seen the increase
in milk, butter and eggs.
Gas is now up to $3.19 a gallon.
Why are food prices going up? Demand for meat in China, India and other markets is driving up prices for grain. That in turn leads to higher prices for chicken, steak, bread and pasta. A drought in Russia, problems with planting and speculative trading have further driven up grain prices, the Wall Street Journal says.

Extreme Couponing- When need to save goes too far.
My advice, don't overbuy.
Only buy what you can use in a matter of time
because things will go bad!
I take breaks, sometimes months without couponing.
Then during those months I make meals
from my stockpile so it doesn't go bad.
Yeah there will be sales and freebies you
will miss but do you really need 100 tubes
of toothpaste?! This is when you have to
stop the obsessiveness of wanting to go shopping!
