Also libraries are seeing more and more customers in this recession as patrons are checking out books instead of buying on amazon and similar sites.

Also, a lot more places are offering comfort foods (which tends to be cheaper to make as well) such as mac 'n cheese, braised/stewed dishes, burgers and apple pies.
