Snowstorm Economics

We sure don't have to worry about shopping right now - it's snowing, snowing, snowing and nobody will be getting out in this stuff!  The snow has got me thinking, though.  Do you ever run to the store for milk, bread and eggs when you hear snow is in the forecast?  A lot of folks do.  How come those folks don't run out for a new coverlet to match their sheets?  What about a new gadget for the kitchen?  Nobody runs out before a snowstorm for the latest style of stretch denim????  Are you kidding me?  Of course not, that would be silly.  Those items are not necessary to get us through life, are they?  That's sort of the approach we are taking right now.  If we don't need it during a snowstorm, we probably don't need it at all.  Of course this excludes my Tic Tac addiction :).
