Gas prices are plummeting, so you might not want to stock up too much (says the man who filled up his truck with 20 gallons a week ago).
Well good for you. In my area, gas prices rose $0.42 overnight a few days ago.
Oil and gasoline futures are at the lowest levels they've been in a while. Lower prices at the pump should show up for you soon.

Unless their area raised the local gas taxes thinking it wouldn't be noticed.

For the family Easter gathering and the Wednesday church potluck I’ve been smoking cheese since 3:30 am. The chips are soaking to do the ham smoke after church. The cheese is triple wrapped and sealed in containers to keep from flavoring the rest of the fridge. I learned the hard way I don’t like applewood smoked milk or butter. The smoked ham will be sliced, triple wrapped, sealed and put in the freezer.

Time to get me some aspirin and a much lighter weed whacker with wheels because my back is grieving me. Getting old ain’t for sissies.

I can't for the life of me figure out why those families living in your basement moved out. I would of come up with a 100 reasons why I couldn't move with food like that around.

Yes, I am like a stray dog. Feed me and I will never leave. :)

When I joined the military, I told the recruiter I wanted one guarantee, I was mostly being silly as I knew he really couldn’t promise me anything unless it was in writing… all the food I could eat.
Technically, that is the case as long as they don’t give you the food money. The catch is you have limited time to eat it.

Possibly the suppliers switched from winter blend to summer blend?
