I was just wondering if the "hard times" in the "real world" has changed anyone's habits as far as buying toys and if so, how has it changed them.

As for us, up until the past few weeks, our hours and/or pay had not changed but we have learned that our pay is being cut and probably our hours.

Prior to this, we had been careful not to overspend on "fun" stuff but we were still ordering toys. But now, with the uncertanity of our income, we are going to have to tighten down on extra spending. I'm hoping to still get to order some things but I will have to be selective and monitor my spending for awhile.

Of course, that means we can pull out some of the older toys that have found their way to the bottom of the toy drawer and reintroduce them back in our play..

Anyone else having to tighten the play time strings???
