Cost of Living

I just paid $2.84 for gasoline and thought I got a good deal!

I also thought I'd record a few prices of grocery items. I shopped at the Super Wal-Mart, and for some reason thought this information was so important, I fished the receipt out of the trash can by the computer.

Apples (gala): .96/lb.--Galas are so much better than Delicious. Something I learned when I began to shop for myself.

Avocados (Well, sad, scrawny-looking, little avocados): .38/ea.
Romaine: 1.38/ea.

One of those big double boxes of Cheerios (Otherwise known to my one year old as Food of the Gods): 6.62

Whole Milk (The cheapest available): 2.98

Pepsi One (Otherwise known to the one year old's mother as : Food of the Gods):4.98.

Tuna Packets: .92

Brown Rice: .82

Bananas: .38

Eggs (60 of them--you can by 60 eggs in one container!): 3.74

Okay, this is probably the single most nerdy thing I've ever done, this coming from someone who was on the high school debate team and played the clarinet.

You did get a good deal on gas. I paid 2.99 yesterday. On Monday I paid 2.52. This is insane. I hope the price goes down a little bit after the holiday.
