I´ve not noticed a low on sales, i see sales everyday, today alone over $200 on sales. However, I have seen a few of my long term fans leaving, with saying they´ll be back, but leaving for a few months for reason such as "loss of job" and "paying many bills this month"...
so while business for me hasn´t changed much, you are right, priority of family well being or as you say "tightening up for the winter"...
yes, the world in general is in financial crisis
