Buy stock in Mac&cheese and ramen noodles?
Edited on Sat Apr-09-05 02:17 PM by nytemare
I am thinking that with gas prices getting higher, soon, prices will go up on everything else. So, maybe buying stock in pasta, rice, and potato growing companies will be a good bet, this will be all most will be able to afford.

5. Canned tuna too, can't forget that!
Hey, right after I got out of the army and was poor, that is what I ate for a long time.

4. Don't go with Kraft (Big rethug anyway - RJ Reynolds\Altria)
Go with actual stores which carry "store brands" - formerly known as "generic".

When times are tough, unless the generic brand really sucks, people tend to save where they can.
