[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 135007, member: 1514"] This is hitting us hard too. I have to leave the house in the car at least 4 times a day - I take Billy to school come home, go back to get him 4 hours later come home, then if he works it is 2 more trips out and back. I have a reasonably economic car but it still costs me at least 40 bucks or more per week. I try to make sure I do any shopping while out on one of my trips but that isnt always possible. I also still have to buy milk because we have Keyana here so much. Our store does this offer where if you buy 6 gallons you get one free with this coupon thing. Food has gone up so much that it costs us in the vicinity of $120 a week just to get the essentials. If not more. I buy most of Keyana's clothes on Ebay because they are cheaper. We dont have a good will near us and I rarely see yard sales anymore. We are actually considering buying a pig and possibly a cow. My house also needs so much work. The heating and air system is about shot and needs new duct work. I am going to see what the electric company offers in the way of weatherization help for homes with disabled people in them. I take advantage of any help for the disabled...I get a homestead exemption on my real estate taxes because I am now on disability. I really worry that Tony is going to have a hard time keeping his job because with gas so high, its costing his boss 75 bucks a day to keep the van in gas. They are now working 2 hours away from home. [/QUOTE]
