    Who can afford to eat with gas prices what they are now? :sad:

    hahaha! I love this, make the gas higher so people stop driving :D! bicycle revolution!!! biking to work is the best!
    ** I'm not actually a jerk and I don't really mean it, I know you can't really bike around with kids and stuff, but I haven't had a car in 3 years and my life is awesome.

    yep, asked hubby to make me some sort of rig i can pull a little red wagon behind my bike with, so i can bike to the like 5 stores we have in town during the spring/summer/fall. obviously i cant bike thru 4' of snow, so winter is all car time.

    It's £6.62 a gallon for petrol where I live ($10.62)

    I thought $4.19 was bad.

    To be fair, we don't have to drive quite as far ^_^

    That is about 3.67 here! I have been taking the bus :3 lol

    Is that per gallon? I just worked mine out in dollars and ours is three times as much :/

    Yup per gallon! Just saw your post, that is insane! Im not complaining about gas prices here anymore xD

    Holy moly! I actually was considering moving to the US (I work online and get paid in dollars anyway) and I feel like I could live like a *king*! And I looked for normal jobs and they don't even pay much less than the ones here in the UK so you must all have SO MUCH SPARE CASH (comparably)!!! Although free healthcare is a bonus :) and if you ever feel bad about how much everything costs, check out how much it costs in Sweden/Norway - like £8 ($12.84) for one pint of beer...

    Comparing U.S. and European gas prices is a little silly. Your gas is taxed to hell and in exchange you get "free" social programs such as health care. My gas is not taxed as bad but I get to pay $600 per month for my health insurance with all that spare cash! :)

    Well now according to the "on sale" flyer that came in todays mail...prices good only if you have "their" card...

    Strawberries $2.79 per pound
    boneless chicken breast $2.99 per pound
    russet potatoes $.79 per pound
    Dannon greek yogurt $1.29 per 5.5 oz tub
    baby carrots $1.85 per pound
    broccoli crowns $1.55 per pound
    Honeydew melon $2.93 each
    fresh white mushrooms $1.88 per 1/2 pound
    fat free milk $1.29 per quart

    pretty much everything else "on sale" in the flyer is processed foods....boxes, bags, frozen fish, soda, chips, etc.... things that I don't buy. I get all sorts of coupons in the mail and online, just none for the fresh foods! 2 years ago I would go to the store and spend $35.00 for 4-5 bags of fresh food products, this week I paid $83 for basically the same stuff!

    Gas here is $3.94 per gal today.
