Gasoline Price - May 2, 2011

[jay]

News reports indicate that consumers are cutting back on their use of gasoline.  The drop in demand may force the prices to fall soon.

Thank you to anyone who reduced their own automobile travel or used mass transportation.

I use fuel perks also. But I do think that some items do cost more at Giant Eagle. I don't drive near as much as i did when working so my fuel perks tend to add up. Currently they are at 90 cent per gallon and I have another week maybe 2 before i have to fill up again....

Of course many prices are going up no matter where we shop... But don't tell Washington, they won't believe it....

I don't know about that except for meat, but I manage to keep a full pantry with a wide variety of food, spending about $300 a month, broken down to about $10.00 a day, and by the way, it's amazing how many items are "Made In The USA" when you take the time to look. As for meats, I have some kind of meat each day for supper ... beef, pork or fish. An average supper consists of meat, two vegetables, a salad and a fruit dessert, and an average breakfast consists of beacon, an egg, toast, coffee and orange juice, sometimes exchanging sausage for bacon. In all, my grocery bill averages about the same as when I did my shopping at Union Square Sparkles before they closed, and using my Advantage Card sure helps keep the bills down along with the Fule Perks I earn. Oh, by the way, my freezer is always full.

Generally speaking, the prices are higher at the Eagle store.

By doing your grocery shopping at Giant Eagle and having an Advantage Card the Fuel Perks can drive the price down.

Just yesterday after shopping, my Fuel Perks amounted to .40 cents per gallon... or $3.59 per gallon down from $3.99.

I hope the WRTA participates in this year's Dump The Pump Day which is on Thursday, June 16.

Some transit agencies often provide a free bus pass to potential riders to acquaint them with their bus system.
