I bought gas yesterday here in Bristol Tn. for $2.99. It has dropped from the 3.60's in less than a week. I hope it goes as predicted and drops a little more and holds for awhile.
How much is gas in Utica today?
A friend of Kim's on his blog from Missouri was posting gas prices even below Bristol prices yesterday. Gas in Missouri was at $2.79 and dropping. Hmmm. Gotta love the "show me state."

I have to think that a thing as simple as decent gas prices will stimulate people to feel confident enough to go out and spend money, shop and travel.
With my travels back and forth almost daily to see my dad in the nursing home and hospital ( about 25 miles each way) the gas prices have been absolutely killing me.
There was a short period of time when I had him in one hospital and Kathy in another and was putting about 120 or 130 miles a day on the truck or van.
Our gas only got to $3.99 at the peak a couple of Friday's ago in the panic before the hurricane. I guess we got off early. I saw gas in some places in adjacent cities on that weekend, rise to almost $5 by gougers and higher priced name brand stations.

We're still at $3.77 for the cheap stuff and half the gas stations have no gas.

Alright, just got back and found that depending on how far you want to drive in our area, you will be paying anywhere between $3.19 - $4.04 for the cheap stuff.

Price Chopper has a gas station now? Hmmm. Must be something new since I was there last Christmas and the N Utica store was under construction. Is it at the N Utica store??
Our favorite grocery store here in Tn closed our little supermarket in town about a year ago. Wednesday they opened their new "supercenter" store on the outskirts. Our old Food Country store was about the size of the old Great American or Loblaws stores, and the new one puts Price Chopper to shame in size and prices.
Kathy has been picking on me because I have gotten over to the new store early Wednesday and yesterday, and will go again this morning. The first three hundred customers each day get freebies. I went Wednesday and got a loaf of bread, a $3 bag of potato chips, and a box of Little Debbies snack cakes. Yesterday I got a box of pecan breakfast rolls, a head of iceberg lettuce and a pound of butter. Today I will go and get a free gallon of milk and a pound of breakfast sausage patties and something else that I can't recall right now.
Hey, what the hell. I have to buy my groceries anyhow, and the store is only 3 miles away, so why not take advantage of the bargains, right? I will have gotten 12 or 14 bucks worth of groceries for free, and that is a savings because I would have had to buy the milk and bread anyhow and the other items are just extras that we will enjoy but would not be likely to buy. Either Kathy or I usually do our own baking of breakfast rolls and cookies. A dozen eggs is the third free item for today, I just remembered.
Well, so much for hijacking the thread and turning it into "the shopping adventures of the old fart house hubbie". Sorry! LOL.
