Every January we are inundated with seed, plant and flower catalogs. Around here January and February are the depths of winter – cold, snowy and blowy, so the arrival of the catalogs is a welcome diversion. We have ordered everything from trees to blueberries; from seeds to bulbs and roots via catalogs. Know what you want.

With Summer childcare costs and an increased food budget, I’ll take savings anywhere I can get it. Call, check the department’s website, or obtain their catalog or magazine. The odds are that most consumers buy the pass and then never or rarely use it. I’m always on a budget. Summertime is no exception.

Nearly every library has expanded their catalog to include a diverse range of media offerings. From television commercials featuring flashy new cars, to radio commercials pushing diamond anniversary rings and tempting top-shelf foods portrayed on interstate billboards, consumers are slammed with choices every day of the week.

We especially need essential stuff, like food, water, shelter, heat, clothing, defensive and offensive protection. But to reach full consumer status, they have to be taught to want things – and they learn fast. I like my stuff and I refuse to acquiesce to the guilt trips imposed by others. Humans need stuff.

Magazines and catalogs are some of the biggest offenders. Dryers are huge energy consumers. A fridge will protect your food from spoiling at a temperature between 38 and 42 degrees F. We have a few made out of stainless steel that keep our drinks cold and are very durable. Cancel your subscriptions. Hang your clothes to dry.
