Yes...... Gas prices ARE coming down!!! Thank-goodness!!!......... (but when I started this thread they were up there quite a bit)

I think it is about $2.99 a gallon here.... give or take a little, depending if we go to a neighboring city (within 25 miles).

I am hoping that the rest of the ecomomy will follow soon...... and allow us to all take a breath. No one needs the added stress nowadays. But until then...and probably even if it does get better.... I am going to continue to try to be "thrifty" (and it really makes a difference...even the little stuff).

Keep us those ideas YT'ers!!! It really helps........ OH, and instead of going shopping..... how about having coffee (or tea) with your neighbor or friends!!! It seems as if I have a little more time for that now...... and it really feels great!! ...... I have neglected so many friendships because "I was always too busy" (and it usually contributed to me SPENDING more money)
