Uncle Sam needs to go shopping. Not us

You want that discounted flat-screen TV. You want to help boost the economy. But I've got news for you.

    I don't shop

    I don't go shopping. Not in the normal sense at least. If I'm

    looking for a particular item, my first stop is a pawn shop. If

    it's clothing, I go to Goodwill or a church-run thrift store.

    I bought a 20" flat screen Sylvania TV. I traded in a 13" older

    TV. Cash outlay $60.00. I even buy my groceries at a locally

    owned grocery store. (Minnesota)
