My car is pretty much the only one in the family that gets good mileage. I get 25 miles to the gallon. Chrissy's car gets 20 and my Dad's jeep gets 16.

I love Aldi. I first saw it in Ohio a decade ago and now they are here in GA. I do go with a wad of cash though and load up mostly on canned goods. It is amazing that one person can run that grocery store (smaller in size compared to many around here).

Same for us, Ray, cancelled trip due to high costs in general. We weren't going too far, into the mountains about 3 or 4 hrs away, but nixed that plan for now. Oh well. I have been driving a bit slower when I can on the interstate...

Most shops don't take cheques anymore so I tend to carry cash always. I don't really like Aldi it's a bit too much of a free-for-all and they rarely have something I like. Tesco do some good cheap stuff.

Oops, I forgot that there are a few Aldi's here, too. I'd shop there, but they only accect cash as payment where as I always pay by check. Just easier for me. Plus, I never have time to make it to the bank before it closes.

When I lived in Illinois, I used to shop at Aldi all the time in between going to Jewel (which was right behind where I lived).

We were gonna go to Vermont this summer 'cause my uncle and his wife had a baby girl in March and we wanted to go up and visit. It's been almost 8 years since we saw uncle Tim last.

Ray, I am so sorry about your vacation to Vermont being cancelled. I know it's going to be so rough now for everyone

Mare, I'm sorry your gas is so high already.

Does anyone have an Aldi's in their neighborhood. They are reasonably priced too. Although, I absolutely hate going there because the cashiers throw everything in the cart after scanning it quickly and then you have to bag your own groceries. The checkout line feels like a derby race. I don't go there that often just for that reason alone.

I'm pretty bad and I eat fast food frequently at times, or sometimes at home my dinner will consist of a Coca-Cola and two spoonfuls...

There's a Community Market nearby and it's fairly big and they have some pretty reasonable groceries,although we can still feel the pinch of the increase. The only thing we really cut way down on is the fruit,which has almost doubled in price. Bananas are now 60 cents a pound,where they were 29 cents a pound 6 months ago. Grapes are now $3 a pound where they were $1.19 six months ago.

Gas prices here in Marietta are $3.65. I had six gallons of gas left in my tank and filled up last night. Cost me a whopping $44.00! If I had the cash, I would have drove down the road a ways to the Race Trac or Quick Trip where they are selling gas at $3.58.

Between gas and grocery prices goin up these days, looks like I won't be driving and we won't be eating very well.........

Actually, I've been making casseroles which last me and Lee a few days. I bought...

It seems like every two to four days pass and then gasoline goes up again. This is getting ridiculous.

Our prices right now are around $4.00! People really should try to curtail some of their driving but I think that many don't want to change their ways. My own son drives around way too much. I understand that teenage boys like to drive around but he uses all the money he makes on gas! I personally am spending a lot more time at home and I really don't mind it. I am fortunate that my job is only 3 miles from my home!

I know what you mean,Cheri. With gas prices the way they are at this time,our vacation plans are off. We had planned to take a trip to Vermont this July,but there's no way we could afford to do it.

I shake my head at the news when people are complaining like crazy about the price of gasoline,but they mention that it still won't stop them from going on long vacations this summer and dropping several hundred dollars into the gas tank of their SUV or RV. Seems to me like they are double-standarding themselves. They complain about one thing,but still do the thing they are complaining about.
Our plans for Memorial Day involve a cook-out at home in our yard.

I heard by Memorial Day it will be much higher. Money hungry robbers! Pretty soon, we'll all be confined to our houses cause no one will be able to drive their cars, and in bigger cities where you are too afraid to take public transportation, it's a loss-loss situation. *blah*

Gasoline is now $3.69 a gallon here.

Re: What is the gasoline price where you live?

feeds@yuku.com (Writer2Be2007) — Fri, 09 May 2008 20:56:23 GMT

It was $3.89 around here this weekend. GRRRR!!!! Thankfully I'm at 3/4 a tank and don't have to fill up for quite a while yet. But I agree they are scandalous prices.

Oh yes and the drive-offs. HEHE they have video cameras all around the gas stations that get your lovely picture at the pump, plus your license plates front and back, make and model of the car. Anyone that thinks they are going to be smooth and escape, HEHEHE you will get caught, as Ray said in his article...

Here in CT I see prices between $3.30 and $3.39. I saw on the news this morning that the price may rise 20 to 30 cents per gallon in the next month! I wonder where or when this will end? I don't go out much these days!
