$4 a six pack? Whatta you drinking, Natty light?

Real beer up here goes for anywhere from $7 - $10 a sixer. Once in while you can get Smutty IPA on sale for $6 a sixpack. Paid $9.28 last night for a six of Lagunitas Pils - worth every penny. Life is too short to drink crap beer.

milk: dunno. drink it, but I don't do the shopping.

beer: $14 for a 12 pack of Long Trail last time I was up at K.

Why even look and count.
Life is short so> Buy what you want>Drink what you want>and drive what you want.

I get gas at the same place all the time because of convienence. I would have to drive out of my way<WASTE TIME/GAS> to save a couple cents>

So I don't even look at the price!
Sam Adams has been my winter beer

I have to drink Lactaid milk>Hey I'm not far from 50<

and I think it's $3.25 a gallon but the wife would know better

We get Berkshire springs water delivered to the house weekly in 5 gal containers Plus she buy's a case of Poland Spring from ME. every week and again I have no idea of the cost but it's too much of a necessity to worry about.
The real dilema would be if we had to cut back would it be on the Beer or Water

OK, beer is expensive, but you drink it by the glass or bottle. Even at $16 / gal, it is fine because you drink it by the glass.
Milk is by the quart or what ever. Actually I pay .99 / pint now. excessive I admit, but a necessity for my needs. Again, I only drink about 1/2 pint per day.
GAS? I drive an average of 40K miles / year. At 22 mpg, that is many gallons. This includes business and personal miles. At 2.20 per gal, it gets expensive to operate a vehicle.
BUT you make a good point that it is relative. 1970 gas prices were about .25 cents / gal. A car averaged about $2500. Now, the same type car, which you can't really buy, is up around $15000 to $20000 vs gas at 2.25/gal. Maybe gas missed the inflation thing in the 70's and 80's and is making up for it? That plus the Chnesse and everyone else is using what we used to take.

Screw it, if you can afford it, buy it. If you can't, take public transportation

Killington Village Market. I know they're supposed to be overpriced, but for a one off purchase I'm not gonna drive all the way to Rutland.

That was supposed to make it to Bay1 on Saturday but didn't. So they're sitting in the condo awaiting my return.......
