In tough financial times, we all need to shop strategically, scan the sale ads, and keep an eagle eye out for super deals. My mom has such an eagle eye, because here, at this place they got gas in Oklahoma, you can get a “family” pack of Bud for cheap. Now parents don’t have to hog all the booze themselves, not with the family pack deal. Heck, maybe next week they can get a family case of Marlboros.
P.S. When I showed this pic to my husband, all that really caught his eye was the cheap price of gas. Men.
Goofball. (And remember when we were outraged at $3.50/gal for gas? Good times.)
J~Speaking of good times, I remember being five and able to buy my mom a pack of cigarettes with a note from home. Poor parents these days … Why have kids?
I don’t think it’s ever been that low here in Northern California…
That is a good one, though. Do they offer a family pack of Chardonnay?
Nila~Northern Calif might have family packs. But the children prefer the sweeter wines, maybe Zinfandel.
Once you get past their toys men are really quite practical. Even an artiste such as I can wire a plug.
Tooty~My husband’s toys have to break in order for him to be quite practical. Sometimes if a toy looks unhealthy amid some serious home improvement, I might help it along in getting it out of its misery. Hammers are a beautiful thing.
I haven’t been in the states in 15 months. I don’t remember gas being the expensive!
Bud Family Pack!? What in the world?
Mel~I’m curious about your price of gas. But hey, here in the states we compensate for high gas prices with cheap family beer.
Wow! That is great gas prices. We’re at $1.30 a litre this week which would make it about $5.20 a gallon… No wonder I don’t travel much…You’ve even got cheap booze…What more could a Canadian ask for?
Laura~Maybe that’s why your health care system is better. People are healthier because they stay home and stay sober. The only thing that holds me back from hopping over the border is your freezing weather. No can do. If it dips under 60 degrees in the winter, my reptillian ways cause me to hibernate.
Tricia, I wish I had not read this as I just put on mascara.I look goth now.
A 71 yr old goth?
Okie Mom
Mama~Hopefully you took a picture of your new look that I’ll dub as “Mature Goth”. You know I’d blog about it too. You might set a new trend.
lol I noticed the gas prices too. Man, when will we see those prices again. Sigh.
Kasie~the gas prices came down a little as evidenced by my latest blog post, which is an update to this post.
