hello there! I am Eleanor and I am new here. I quiet visit France for sometimes and I one thing I love to say and t is one of the fabulous countries I ever visit. I love the people, the culture, the climate and I guess, I am in love with this place. I do some business in France and I am I love to meet more people. :)

[quote user="Frederick"]There was an interesting phone in on  UK local radio where people were asked to phone in and say what they were now cuitting back on in these difficult times and what they were doing to save money ...  Dumping SKY TV seemed to be very  high on the list along with no longer phoning out for take-away meals and  taking a lunch box to work . Change of Supermarket to Llidl  Tesco and  Asda away from Waitrose and M&S and more buying on line seemed to be seen as a money saver.. I expect the  home delivery charge works out cheaper for  some now watching their  petrol costs than to drive to an out of town big supermatket ... What I found interesting was that people have taken to searching out on line items where the charge will be in euros . One guy mentioned an item that he bought was priced at £100 but on a site on the continent it was 100 euros  and the postage charge was cheaper. Perhaps its Ebay France and Google translate the pages for easy on line shopping .?  I am yet to look at it .It seems DVD's that can be played in the UK can be bought much cheaper in the   USA ... It seems to me that  thanks to the recession . The penny is dropping among the section of society that has been brought up with a "must have the designer label mentallity  " and they are now  finding they can get by without them . [/quote] Because of the present economy, the cut back is a wise thing to do to avoid loan. I just bought things that I truly needed on my everyday living and skip the luxury things. Food is one of the necessity that's why it is always on my top list and I buy more of fruits and veggies and leave behind junks and sodas as well. For me cutting back of expenses doesn't mean of taking for granted of a healthy one. I always see to it that  have a healthy food on my fridge.
