How I’d Rather Spend 4 Bucks…
April 16, 2008I’m not much of a commentator on the state if our economy…
But the prices at the grocery store are getting crazy…
and…
I have started to fill up my gas tank $10 at a time so I don’t cry…
There is a possibility that I may never have a full gas tank again.
This morning I put my ten bucks in my car at $3.45 a gallon.
The news says to expect a ten cent jump for the weekend and prices at $4 a gallon by early summer.
Sheesh.
Instead of complaining… (more than I already am)
(or taking it out on the poor gas station attendant… like the crazy old guy I saw… making a huge scene and calling them robbers…and telling the nice lady she was murdering him… even though the poor attendant is probably making peanuts herself…and obviously is not setting the gas prices…she is just working the morning shift at the Shell station…but whatever makes you feel better old angry guy… I personally think we should be nicer to the gas station attendants before they become the next “postal workers”…)
anyway
I’ve decided to dwell on all the things I’d rater be doing with my $4.

Today, I had a very unhealthy breakfast at MC Donald’s for $4…
I do not condone in anyway shape or form eating at MC Donald’s…
I’m not sure what came over me…
but…FYI
you can have a Vanilla Iced Coffee
and
a biscuit with sausage gravy
for just under the 4 dollar mark.
…even though I picked out all the sausage in the gravy…
because I’m not comfortable with what it might be made of…
and scraped off most of the gravy because…well..the same reason…
On further examination I should have just gotten a plain biscuit….because apparently that’s what I really wanted.
But….anyway
I’d rather spend my 4 bucks on that… (and about a dozen other things) 
What would you spend your $4 on if it wasn’t going in the tank?

4 jr. bacon cheeseburgers…Wendys.
Or a mop,candybar,candle,and picture of a flower from the Dollar General.
Chocolate! mmm…ryan bought me a package of almond joys the other day,you know the one that has like ten in it. So, it lasted me about an hour. I have a problem…a serious one!
And I have begun to put $15 in my tank at a time, too. For some reason it makes me feel better…although I hate stopping for gas all the time. My logic is probably not the best
Oh, I can clean up at the dollar tree. For some reason the one by my house has really nice stuff… most recently…straberry shortcake coloring book, kids glitter flip flops, ninja sword, dog bone, sidewalk chalk compass, a dozen bible story books for church and Sinbad the movie from Dreamworks… All better than gas…
mmmmm. almond joys sound good.
Sinbad the movie! We love that!
It has Brad Pitt’s voice…
