Just filled my truck up. 3.69/gallon for regular (89 octane maybe?). 24 gallons. Luckily I had 1.90 off in fuel perks from the local grocery store. Luckily a pound of ground beef used to be $1/lb but is now $99/lb so one stop at the store and I save $20 in gas....lol
But seriously...the gas thing is true. But yeah, a pack of ground beef that used to be $7 is now about $13. Thanks Brandon. Speaking of...my wife is a teacher. See help wanted signs everywhere yet her students keep telling her they can't get hired anywhere. My theory is that maybe since McD's now has to pay $14/hour for a burger flipper that management is not hiring young inexperienced workers? Thoughts on that? Just guessing here but sounds plausible. So all these young kids crying for $15/hour may have pushed themselves right out of the market if that is the case.
