No doubt everyone is noticing that the gasoline prices have shot up. In our area, the price of a gallon of regular gasoline is $3.25, diesel is a surprising $2.75/gallon. But where does this stand with the other necessities of life?
The average Starbucks coffee - $3.00 for an 8 ounce cup (that's $48/gallon!)
A pack of cigarettes - $4.75 (from a billboard outside a gas station)
Movie with popcorn & drink (1 person) - $14.00
Monthly cell phone bill - $50.00 (if you have a good plan & watch the minutes)
Dinner for two at a decent restaurant - $50.00
Average price for a music CD - $15.00
Gallon of milk (on sale) - $1.89
Ticket to Wrestlemania - up to $1200.00!!!
Your freedom in this country - Priceless!
Just thought that things should be put in perspective...
