On the other hand, the rare find is so great. The other day I found 60 pounds of frozen boneless chicken breast in a dumpster, all wrapped up neatly in bags! Good diving days are a gem!

'A recession is a significant decline in economic activity spread across the economy, lasting more than a few months, normally visible in real GDP, real income, employment, industrial production, and wholesale-retail sales. A recession begins just after the economy reaches a peak of activity and ends as the economy reaches its trough'

But there's no denying the media's been chanting we're already in a recession for the past year or so.

Despite my desperate afternoon with Excel, I couldn't figure out how much our GDP had dropped over past quarters and years. Do you know?! Where is this secret kept?
