    Bartering is best. …
    Bartering is best. No sales tax, no paperwork, no FRN’s, or credit cards. Maybe if we remove ourselves from their “stores”, they’ll feel the same pinch they placed upon us.

    buying NOTHING …
    buying NOTHING containing additives: Aspartame, Splenda, Partially Hydrogenated Oil, MSG and MSG-like additive ( “Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein”), High Fructose Corn Syrup; not buying products that contain parabens and petro dirivitives.
    Just stop buying all the toxic products produced by the top 3 petro-chem conglomerates will save you bundles! Shop the parameter of the store. Anything in a box or bag has been processed most often with chemicals toxic to your body. Stop ingesting them.

    Changing all landscape plants to edibles;

    bulk buying stored well, dated and rotated;

    coupons and store sales; the best of both – using a coupon when the item is on sale…lots of money saved;

    only kidding. I was veggie for years on my own and previously brought up veggie. Not really sure whether its right or wrong, but I’m sure how its reared and killed must make a difference! Probably better to not eat it for a myriad of reasons.!! Hasta Banana.

    Petting a soft animal feels good. He gave us a choice. Some people like raping children. Doesn’t make it right.

    @SugarMonkey528 :

    As far as ethics, it is more ethical because if you can be at least as healthy without killing and eating animals, that means you dont need to , so to do otherwise for taste, or preference is less ethical. (There are many more reasons, but that one is the simplest….also, there is almost no dispute that a Veg’n diet can be *at least as* healthy as an omnivorous diet. )

    @SugarMonkey528 :
    REgarding a veg diet being healthier, ask any doctor or dietician, (or better yet, more than one) but there are tons. Not sure if I can post links here, as it seems my posts dont show up when I do.

    Bartering is a great idea, but remember the IRS wants its slice of that! Be sure to stay under their radar.

    I became an expat 30 years ago and have never paid Uncle Sam a dime in income taxes! Leaving the USA was one of the best decisions I ever made . . .

    I’d love to barter, but since I’m a chemist most people just want me to make them meth.

    I don’t care if someone takes it, but I ain’t makin’ it.

    I like the sharing a cow thing. I can’t believe I didn’t do this before. I might even raise one since I do have the land to do it on…

    If God didn’t want us to take smack and Ectacy why did he make them so good. He gave us a choice. Some people like killing people. Doesn’t make it right. Having said all that, I currently eat meat, but agree it’d be a good one to give up for health and cheaper!

    Barter! Barter! …
    Barter! Barter! Barter! I’ve already got my family physician on board, my barber, a friend who owns a small deli and other various friends who refuse to participate in the collectivist takeover of our government. I’ve reduced my workload significantly & I’m offering my clients discounts for cash. When the collectivists make freedom illegal, free people become outlaws. I refuse to participate in my own enslavement & I’m encouraging others to do the same.

    Already doing most of what she says. Bartering is awesome when done right. I have even bartered for surgery! Take that Obamacare! TIP:You must be upfront/quotes with each party. Otherwise you can count on someone screwing you in a barter by rasing their prices artificially after you perform your end. Though IRS guidelines require you report as income, bartering services is excellent advice. Having your own garden, making your wine/beer, bread and biofuels are invigorating!
