Even clothing, if it's for the business.

And as far as deflation, the federal government can't let that happen very much for the simple fact that they have put us in a bond liquidity trap and they would default on the dollar.When I see low skill jobs like fast food have doubled in wage over the last 8 or so years and are now paying $15/hour, then it seems completely normal to me that food should be double, cars should be double, clothing should be double, rent should be double, and home prices should be double.

Drive a cheap used car, don't eat at restaurants, never get Starbucks, don't go to the bar, buy inexpensive clothing and only buy things you absolutely need.

It's nuts that jobless (or low-earning) college kids are buying iPhones/iPads/gadgets, summer vacations to Brazil, designer clothes, high-end makeup/crap/haircuts, going out partying and to pricey clubs, etc. all they while they have low-income (or no income) and are living off student loans delaying their debt to future years.

You can remove small dents with an iron and a piece of wet cloth.

Should I wear "church clothes" or jeans?

I only have two people living here and my neighbor has 3 people and washes clothes every day.  

I have been in to yoga on and off and tried meditating...

Meals at nice restaurants, some of my clothes, etc.

Just the clothes on my back and a hope and belief that its going to be alright .
