On My Mind Today

Prices and the Hurricane

Hi everyone.  Dh and I went food shopping.  I was watching the cashier as she was totaling our score and wondering if anything would be under a dollar.  Guess what, I saw four items.  green beans, onion, cucumber and 3 bananas.  At that time i was thinking in appx. 1965-67, not sure exact year but close,  I bought my mom salt for 10 cents.  I remember her sending me to the store and she needed it while she was cooking. 

I noticed the meat prices have gone up again too.  I was also talking to some friends on the internet about gasoline.  Here we're paying 3.55.  In ohio they were paying i think it was 3.75.  At one time their prices were lower then ours.  I think the cheapest we paid here with in the last month was 3.50 and this was not in our county.  We drove about 20 miles from our home to check out some stones to make a waterfall.  We filled our tank while there.  lol  

Hurricane is still in the Gulf we had big waves here.  We have a highway from Fort Walton Beach to Destin that is now under water.  It takes us about 15 minutes to drive there but not any more.  Have to go a different direction now and it will take at least 45 minutes depending on the traffic.  We had this problem before with another hurricane.  The road was built back and they didnt think this was going to happen again,  We'll watch the news tomorrow to see what happened.  Its closed now.  I feel sorry for Texas.  Hurricane looks soooo big.  I'll talk to you all later.  Till then byeeeeeeee.  Jeanne

gas prices

Just drove home today and put gas in my suburban for $3.63--moderate right--they had signs up to limit to only 10 gallons due to a shortage. Then, only four miles from my home prices are at $4.75!!!!!! Crazy. I wanted to turn off my electric at the box and just protest because it is getting out of control and we sit idly by and accept the unacceptable!
Blessings!
