[Over70irregs]

[Up In Smoke]

I went to the store and got vine tomatoes for $.79/lb, asparagus $2.49/lb, 5lb baby reds $2.99, 10 grain wheat bread for $2.49, 18 pack Bud products $11.49, baby back ribs $2.99/lb, certified Black Angus porterhouse $6.77/lb, bacon $3.99/lb. boxes of General Mills cereal $1.49 each. The only items that I noticed still elevated was milk, butter and eggs. Everything else was reasonable. Then I went around the corner and filled up @ $2.77/gal diesel with my points card.

All those free money checks people thought were so great is long gone by now with these prices. All that free stuff and Biden's war on fossil fuels is costing us big time!

Fuel down here about .50

I think twice before I just hop across town in my friend-150. Never used to. Those plus $100 fill ups.......

I went to the hardware store and bought some random nuts and washers.......farm stuff.......$buck a piece.

Just got our CSA meat delivery, and Dad dropped off extra produce from his garden. We're doing pretty good.

I ate as much free food as I can find on my route. Save me a lot of money at the grocery store

Wow, wish I lived where you do. Everything in my part of the country is still up

About to become Amish so I don’t have to worry about anymore

Free???

Everybody gets a check, unless you pay a lot in taxes, then you get nothing. You pay which is kind of a double tax.

Pretty sad that we think gas under 4 bucks a gallon is GREAT. I liked the Trump years when it was under 2 bucks a gallon.

That’s funny you mentioned this. I literally brought home a full bag of vegetables from my route. Can’t believe how generous my customers are. I love Friday when I get free beer. Sometimes I score the good stuff other times it’s blah..

Not going---first time in 26 years. But its not because of gas prices. All good things must come to an end.
