Just Call Me a “Recessionista”

According to Business Week, the term “recessionista” is everywhere these days. The Irish Times recently used the word to describe a “modern sort of girl who is trying to survive the credit crunch the best she can.” Today’s recessionistas haunt thrift shops, fueling year-to-date sales growth of 6% to 15% at Salvation Army and Goodwill outlets. Goodwill’s San Francisco-area outlets will launch a blog for recessionistas in November.

Might be time to organize a rummage sale at your community.

As for me, I am adding the title to my business cards.
