[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 49497"] We live in a small town so everything is within a couple of miles - unless you want to do "real" shopping - so as far as changing things with the kids, that isn't really an issue. [img]:laugh:[/img] I drive 20 miles on way to work and, while that's never bothered me before (I drove 50 miles one way when I lived in Atlanta and in rush hour traffic that took about 2 hours), it's really hitting my pocket book now. It costs $40.00 to fill up my little Kia now and I'm filling up about every 5 days. Groceries are killing me. I stopped at Kroger (2 miles from my house) and didn't even fill the bottom of my cart - no meat, no cleaners, none of the more expensive items - just produce, milk and a couple of other things - bought only what was on sale and it was $90!! I wanted to be sick. It wasn't even a real grocery shopping day. Just picking up some things we needed. Aldi's is about 20 miles away. Super Walmart is about 20 miles away. We do have a regular Walmart (I differentiate between them by calling them Super Walmart for the super center and Stupid Walmart for ours [img]:smile:[/img] ) and I pick up non-perishables there - what little they have. The grocery department in our store is only about 3 aisles. They don't have produce or meat anyway. I don't buy Walmart's produce anyway; I've never been happy with it. easy child wanted to have about 5 of 6 friends over this weekend and I told him they would have to bring their own food. He had 3 friends over last weekend. I just can't afford to feed that many 16 year old appetites all the time. There have been a lot of good ideas on this thread. I hope more keep coming in. [/QUOTE]
