I mentioned earlier this week that the price of gasoline has finally dropped below $1.80/gallon and it continues to fall.
When gas prices increased, we saw prices on everything skyrocket. One of the things that affected us most was the price of food.
Now that the price of fuel is going down, do you think we’ll see a price deduction at the stores or do you think the food industry will continue to keep the prices high?

It seems the price of everything is going up . . . gas, groceries, and now postage stamps. We just saw an increase a few months ago when postage went from 39 cents to 41 cents.
We’re in for another increase. Effective Monday, May 12th the price of postage will increase 1 cent, which will make postage stamps 42 cents. Make sure you attach a 1 cent stamp to your bills or letters or they may be returned to you.
Paying bills online is looking more and more attractive to me. What about you?

I managed to get away from the family for a little while last night and do some grocery shopping. I was shocked when I went to pick up a gallon of milk. The Food Lion brand milk was $4.09 for skim!!!!! This called for some research.
According to The Star-Ledger, the price paid to farmers will have increased 50 percent this year — driven by higher costs of transporting milk to market and increased demand for corn to produce ethanol. We are seeing the rising cost of gas affect just about everything we purchase.
