Economy affects on the Smith Family

So, there is a big slup in the economy. How this affected the Smith Family?

• It's saving me time form becuase of all the short lines at the stores! Like no one in line at Sam's Club, Panera, Target...it's awesome.
• It's saving me money with all the great sales, good coupons and lower gas prices.
• It's saving me gas because I am getting awesome parking spots right in front of the store.

I really think that the reason that people aren't out and about shopping is that they are all home playing their Wii's. LOL.
