Both are luxury items and so far we have not seen a drop. As a matter of fact our sales increase with the Christmas season. We are also blessed by the community we live in. We live in a military town and the military can (not always) have more of a disposable income. With the majority of our clients working in the military in some shape or form we seem to be doing OK. We also have four kids and feeding them can be a chore. I have already learned how to make the grocery dollar stretch and I have had to make it stretch more but so far its not too bad.

He is actually in the parts business, and logic would make you think we would be doing better...you know fixing instead of buying new. He says w/ gas prices through the roof people are driving less and driving slower which equals less wrecks wh/ means less money for him. We actually got rid of one of our cars to scale back and we are eating out less, etc. We are tying knot and hanging on! My dh is in the car business and the car business stinks right now.
