Overheard a Republican in my local Subway today

49. Prices have gone up where I live (not U.S.) quite noticeably lately and some things unavailable.

Price of electricity reduces after five o'clock, I don't use lights or cook until then, and candles until electric lights necessary.

Unheated house, only small space heaters -- think about calories I'm burning trying to keep warm, can eat more! It was really cold this morning so went back to bed to read and nap because it's warm under lots of blankets and quilt (like peasants, and settlers on the American prairies during blizzards).

Our small rural city started a coupon program, you pay a certain amount and receive coupons worth twice as much, mainly used in supermarkets. Very popular, people really shopped hard! Husband is planning a bigger garden this year.
