I just paid $5.35 a gallon for regular in California. Just to let everyone know that California is not all $6 and $7 a gallon.
I've spent like $50 on gas in the last two years. I don't know what everyone is whining about. I spend more than that on burritos in a week.
Gas is just over $4.00 in my neck of the woods, so I’ll fill up and then pour out a second tank for you, homie
Walmart on a Friday night is a rough place when that inflation hits, it's basically Burning Man for the unemployed. There was a heavy set woman in a messy wig shopping for hats while pushing a rat doll in a baby stroller. Another lady was flipping out that she couldn't find any formula and was accusing the poor lady at the register that she was hiding baby formula. That place is like a singularity for mental illness. The lady with the rat doll wasn't an example of inflation anger, I just figured it was noteworthy.
Wait, do you mean an actual doll that looks like a rat (do they even make such a thing?), or an ugly-ass baby?
It's election season here and many empty lots are covered with political signs. A lot of them are large billboard like A-Frame construction and every single one of those has homeless people living in it. It's kind of poetic if you think about it.
It's the most expensive reality tv show we have, it ain't goin nowhere! To be fair, watching the primaries is kind of like watching the NFL draft. If you're than invested in it, you'd better have money at stake.
I think it's exactly like the draft, because at best it's a crapshoot, and only like 5 places can make any sort of claim to be consistently good at it, and some places keep making the same mistakes over and over and over again. And this level of coverage is fucking pointless.
you know sometimes i think i miss things by not living in a huge city and creature watching at walmart.
Any of you track your expenses to the point you know where gas ranks among all your other monthly expenses? We're now spending more on gas than our mortgage. Our mortgage is low, but that still sucks. It costs $20 a day just to get my kid to school and pick him up. The bus doesn't come to our house, that isn't an option. If we wanted, they'll send a clapped out old sheriff's car with a county sticker on the side to get him, but that's the only school provided transportation because of our location and no other kids in the area.
Gas is up to about $5/gallon here. Hubs fills up weekly. He drives about 30min to work, occasionally to another warehouse site, plus I might drive for a couple errands on the weekend in our tiny town. I bike during the week. Costs him around $75 per fuel up which is around $323 a month. His company gives him a $300/month gas stipend though so it's not too bad for us personally, right now.
If we weren't putting gas in boats, we'd still be under the cost of the mortgage, but not by much. When school ends in two weeks it will be like getting a raise. We won't drive every day.
