Complements of the Bush Economy™ I have been working hard to control costs and reduce overhead. After loading all my receipts from the past ten years into Quicken®* and clicking the magic button to anal retentively analyze my spending, the program returned a pie chart. The legend that went along with the pie chart read, “Alcohol & Drinking: 98.3 percent, Other Expenses 1.7 percent.” Stunned, I fired up Excel® and ran a few different scenarios. After this excercise, I concluded that even Yellow Tail® is too expensive. For the record, substituting it reduced the Alcohol & Drinking category to 88.5 percent of total expenditures. Fortuitously, I stumbled across Consumer Reports for the Wino Set, which will help me reduce future booze related expenses dramatically.
