staying in is the new going out!
Booze is 50% cheaper (at least) from the off licence.
Booxe sales in pubs has been declining rapidly in Ireland this year.
howeover guinness sales, as they always do, are rising during recession.
Ive already given up my second yearly trip to austria for environmental reasons. only go in summer now.
ordering food in has also gone out the door.
im not actually feeling the pinch, my job is secure and I got promoted this year (as did Mrs Schlack) so am in a reasonably good position. Still, trying to build up some just in case money, which hopefully will turn into "screw you money"!
