Gas, goods shortages and inflation rant!

$3.659 in NW PA, it doesn't have to be this way.

Go over to Ohio it is only 20 miles and about a Quarter cheaper.

I was doing Ok until they ran out of ketchup packs.

Our gas here was $3.19 a gallon. Was at Sam's Club this weekend and all the shelves were stocked full of merchandise. However, we have a port that is operating properly. Different coast.

Well, I've read all the postings so
far. But the OP certainly has
suffered the most at Sam's:

No favorite bourbon

No favorite cherry turnovers

No root beer

You forgot gasoline and Ensure. Yea yea I know...driving and nutrition are a luxury elders don't need.

 

[Texchappy]

$2.84 where we usually get it.

 

[Rob613]

$3.37 at Sams Club in Great Falls, MT. $3.42-$3.44 everywhere else here.

Folks can laugh if they want to, but I've been buying a little extra each time I go to the store, and not just ammo.

 

[JET4]

Regular was $3.26 yesterday when I filled up yesterday.

$2.67 at a few places in OKC per Gasbuddy.com

I'm old enough to remember gas for less than 30 cents a gallon. I can also remember fuel, gas and diesel, well over 4 dollars a gallon in 2007. Believe it or not price of fuel goes up and comes down. I'm thankful to be retired and don't have to drive to work anymore.

$3.89/gal. for regular, mid and premium grades over $4/gal.

I can remember gas wars in the late 60's with gas at $0.17 a gallon. I sure there are some here that can remember it lower than that.

Diesel is $3.95 a gallon here. Heck!! It was $2.15 less than a year ago!! Oh well. If I can't get fuel, I guess I can always saddle up one of the mules and have one of the grandkids ride the 11 miles into town for supplies.

87 octane at Giant Eagle New Albany (suburban Columbus) $3.17, I used bonus points and got 50 cents cheaper! Filled up the truck and empty 5 gallon cans!

But the pharmacy is out of my wife's Glaucoma eye drops, that could get serious!

Here in the Dallas Ft. Worth metroplex, Gas prices vary from $ to 3.399/gal to $.3.099/gal If you have saved your Kroger gas points, it can be as low as $2.999/gal. Aint inflation wonderful? The official Consumer P4rice Index doesn't count energy prices "because they are so volatile". Even so, on my weekly grocery store trip this morning prices were up noticeably since last week. Great - inflation, in real terms is running about 10%, and the Government, in their charitable manner, granted me a 4.95% increase in my Social Security Check for next year. By my figures, I am falling behind by better than 5% per annum. Life is just so rosy.

 

[Riverboys]

Paid over $4/gal for premium unleaded the other day. I haven't had to buy diesel for the truck in a while, but I will this weekend. It looks like diesel has pushed over $4/gal as well.

Infuriating because this was 100% avoidable.



More proof that we live in a world that's off the rails...

This is all intentional.

 

[LoboGunLeather]

Colorado:
Pueblo at $3.69.
Colorado Springs at $3.49
Denver at $3.19

All within the past two weeks. All situated on the I-25 corridor, served by the same pipelines and delivery networks.

Populations and volume of sales seems to make a big difference.

 

[monsai52]

Murrieta in SoCal. Local Costco has the best prices on premium in the area @$4.599/gal.

Best regards,
