The station down the street is selling regular gas at $3.559 per gallon. (I hate that 3rd place decimal)<\/p>\n
Gas prices are expected to go up higher. With my Honda Odyssey holding 20 gallons, a fill-up costs me over $60. OUCH!<\/p>\n
People complain about gas prices. They say they can’t afford health insurance. Auto insurance is increasing.<\/p>\n
But yet, I don’t see anyone complaining about $5 for a 10 oz cup of coffee. How much a gallon does that come up to? No one complains about $3 for a coke at the restaurant, or a movie for $12 a ticket. Going out to lunch costs at least $10 even without buying a drink or dessert.<\/p>\n
If in one week you cut out one $5-coffee and one $3-coke at the restaurant, you’ll be saving $416 a year. That’s so easy!<\/p>\n
Brown bag your lunch once a week and save another $500 a year!<\/p>\n
Make your own coffee and buy cans of coke from the market for less than 50 cents a serving.<\/p>\n
These minor adjustments do not take much effort.<\/p>\n
Fortunately for me, I drink neither coffee nor coke. I never acquired a taste for either, and I have a heart murmur that requires me not to take caffeine.<\/p>\n
So cutting out coffee and coke is good for your health anyway. It’s a win-win all around.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
