The problem is, a lot of people seem to be in real financial difficulty. I guess not having a mortgage means I'm not seeing it so far, but if you have less money you don't have a lot of choice, you have to spend less. And a lot of things are hard to change immediately, so the ones that can (like choice of food) tend to be the ones that change.

Good points.  My food bills have soared but I don't have a mortgage to worry about either, nor do I have gas bills so I have been able to absorb the extra costs so far.
