Roberta- Sorry to hear about your sister in SC being laid off. I'm in the Upstate of SC, and more than one new company is buildng a workplace for 500 people. So, we lose some companies and gain others. The new ICAR center is really attracting other businesses to move, like BMW did. I'm retired so it doesn't effect me but it surely helps the economy and keep this active and alive. I wouldn't want it to become a Ghost Town with me on my little plot of 5 acres by myself.
What I did frugal today - I unpacked some of the non-perishable groceries from the trunk of my car today, so have 70 cans of Campbell's Select Soup on the shelves in My Pantry in my garage that I can eat. The regular high sodium Campbells Soup will go the Food Pantry at my church.
The other frugal thing I did was to have lunch with the senior group at a local church, complete early Thanksgiving Dinner - $4.
