[QUOTE="Big Bad Kitty, post: 134825, member: 3647"] I am so VERY lucky to have an Aldi 2 miles away and a bigger grocery store less than a mile away (where I get produce, meat, and of course, Diet Pepsi). So I spend very little on groceries and not a whole lot on the gas to get there. I went WAY out of my comfort zone (you would not believe how shy I am in person) and set up a carpool for Tink so I only drive [I]to[/I] school. She gets driven home. While I don't much care for Matt living a mile from me, it sure beats driving to Joliet for weekends. If I wanted to, I could walk out on my patio and throw her to his place. I used to go out to see my mom at least once a week. I just can't do it anymore. We talk daily and both just understand that it has to be this way. Likewise, I have not seen Copper since Christmas (and I miss her to death) for the same reasons. I just cannot afford to fill up my tank once a week like I used to. It costs about 60-65 to fill it, and it is just a Caravan. It's older, and probably burns more gas than it should, but it is paid for. Yeah, we are feeling the gas crunch. [/QUOTE]
