Let’s face it, saving money when buying smokes this days may be a lost cause. Inflation, fueled by the cost of gasoline and home heating oil, is eating away at everything including the price of a pack of cigarettes. There’s no end is sight and most people have apparently resigned themselves to paying more and more. Cigarettes are considered a luxury item, so smokers aren’t going to see any intervention by the Fed over this. Does this mean the end of tobacco? Not likely. There are some places where inexpensive cigarettes may still be purchased, although increasing demand is likely to begin driving prices upwards. You can save money when buying cigarettes, if you know where to look.

How do saving money and investing fit into the government’s economic stimulus plans/ That question is being bantered around these days, often with a hint of fear on the government’s behalf, that Americans won’t just spend the money according to their plans. As is usually the case made against centralized planning, it just doesn’t work. Human behavior is seldom bent or shaped to the whimsy of government bureaucrats. Whatever happens, however we choose to spend our money, is sure to be touted as a success for the government’s plans in any case.
How consumers choose to spend their rebate check is a personal choice, one governed by more often by want than need. That’s what the government is counting on, the buying of consumer goods. But with the skyrocketing cost of fuel for the necessities of life, namely the automobile and home heating oil, some consumers may be thinking twice about wasting money on consumer goods. With no end in sight to inflated energy costs, consumers are considering investing and saving instead of buying, much to the government’s chagrin.
