I agree, there is certainly no shortage of greed nowdays, and it doesn't just apply to our quilting stuff. Gas, food, utilities are all out of control. I, for one, have decided to take some proactive steps. I don't go anywhere unless it is a necessity, I make menu plans using as much food as I have on hand, buy only the groceries I need to add to my food on hand to make the recipes on the menu plan, keep my heat set low, and use my stash. I absolutely refuse to buy anything unless it is a necessity. It's the only way I know to show my disgust for the greed. I can make do, I don't have to pad their wallets.
