When you are confronted by a weak economy making its presence felt through a slowing housing market, static job growth, fuel price hikes and volatile prices of basic commodities, you won’t have a choice but to practice some frugality. Indeed, this is what many Americans have resorted to do.

KansasCity.com reports that the recent reduced consumer spending has resulted in a decline in retail and restaurant sales.
