My inspiration for this post came from my dear, longtime blogging friend, Debbie @ Musings by an ND Domer's Mom, who is not only a gifted...
I know that all of us are feeling the affects of the outrages gas price increase.Even those of us who live in a city and don’t own a car, are still being affected by the increase in regards to public transportation such as: cab and bus fares.
A few of the people that I work with are opting to take the train to work everyday, because it ends up being cheaper than having to take out a personal loan to pay for gas…plus parking.
Some have even begun to car pool.
I spoke to another staff member the other day, and she was saying that her boyfriend has an SUV which cost close to $75.00 to fill the tank.
Damn…$75.00 equals three months of my utility bill.
(don’t forget…I live in a studio apartment)
I hear that in some places, a gallon of gas is up to $4.00!
I’ve also heard from frequent travelers, that even plane fares are being affected.
I’m wondering how many people will be vacationing this summer?
This gas price increase has also trickled down into other areas involving the cost of living.
Like food.
Have you been to the grocery store lately?
Holy shit…every time I go food shopping, I keep noticing price increases on EVERYTHING.
I'm curious to see how long it will take for toilet paper to go up to $5.00 a roll?
(I may have to start rationing and recycling)
Hey…I wonder if I can get meat and produce at the Dollar Store???
Wouldn’t it be horrible if even the Dollar Store was affected?
It would have to be changed to the All-Dollar Store.
Oh well, I guess this too shall pass….like a bad case of gas…
