The recession is radically changing behavior among many different types of people, from the Wall Street bankers who are now waltzing into Wal-Mart for the first time to buy their groceries to teens who are now thumbing through the piles of status jeans at secondhand shops to save money. And experts say that such behavior could linger long after the economy recovers.
the generation that grew up with the depression continued their habits all their life.

She's also not stockpiling discounted groceries because she wants to limit how much money she puts out for each trip to the supermarket. That kind of behavior is showing up in fourth-quarter results at companies including foodmaker H.J.

probably not the best way to go. there are food banks people. waiting until the cupboards are completely bare will leave you EXTREMELY UNHAPPY when you look in your wallet and piggy bank and find there is nothing there. i know it's happened to me.
