Gas is as cheap as its been here in Gbg, in two years. Octane 88 is 3.18. I filled up about a week ago and still have 3/4 tank. We still produce more oil than any other country in the world but we don't keep most of it and then import it from somewhere else and that won't change. I'm more worried that folks are more worried about the "Gulf of America" than the cost of healthcare or that the market is about the $#it the bed two years before I'm supposed to retire.

I just did a quick Google search and yeah it shows regular in greensburg is 3.48. I get gas on 22 in murrysville or delmont and its 3.60. Probably 10 miles from you but 12 cents different per gallon. And my stations are all right beside the place the tankers all get their gas to deliver.

Agree with your other points, people are played so easily with distractions from what they really should be worried about.

Not being political.....it's been this way for decades and it comes from every angle.

I work a block from here. I buy 88. Why would you not? Especially in winter.

I like Sheetz unleaded 88, too. I have noticed no depreciable drop in MPG, unlike flex fuel. MPG drops way down on Flex Fuel.

Where are the oysters coming from? And what caused them to come down in price?

All over the east coast both wild & farmed.

My local Wegman's typically has at least 4, sometimes 5 different varieties. Yesterday I got Bluepoints, Barrier Island & Chesapeake. Sometimes they also have Wellfleet, Standish Shore and Malpeque oysters.

As far as the price at Wegman's goes, years ago BC (Before Covid) they were getting $2 - $3 an oyster depending on the variety which was higher than they charged a couple of years earlier and what I just paid last Saturday in a restaurant.

I got so pi$$ed I stated buying oysters at a store called Fresh Market in Bethlehem where they about a $1.50 each but they get their oysters in bags of 12 so if you buy a dozen, they hand you a bag. That means they also don't open each bag and check each oyster like Wegman's so sometimes I was getting a clinker or two in each bag from Fresh Market.

When Covid was raging I was off raw oysters and when I jumped back in, they were cheap. I can't explain it but I'm not complaining. If only the jumbo lump crab meat I buy would go back to pre-Covid prices. It doubled during Covid and has dropped from highs around $60 a pound but it is still at least 60% higher than before.

That's why the egg thing has me pissed. If this bird flu thing ever calms down it won't happen overnight and I expect IF things go back to normal, $4 a dozen will become the new normal.

No big reason not to if your car is compatible, which most are since 2001. Be certain that your vehicle is, some Hondas for awhile were not. Obviously any car that has a requirement of higher octane fuel shouldn't either.

There is a loss of mpg, probably unnoticeable unless you track it over a long period of time.

Gasoline at Costco in Lancaster is $2.99/gal. Plus, you get another 5% rebate on all gas purchases there, or anywhere else (up to $7,000 per year I believe), when you use the Costco/Citi credit card.

If you use enough gas it might pay to consider joining Costco to get this rebate even if you’re not close to a a Costco store. Plus, there are many other Costco items that you can buy online cheaper than you’ll find elsewhere.

You got that right. Once prices level set upwards and the grocers see no appreciable drop in volume sales they'll never level set the prices downward to where they were previously, they'll just increase their profit margin. Hell look at groceries in general, after the COVID "supply chain" shortages that drove up prices they may have come down a bit but not to pre-COVID levels. Profit taking.

It'll be "generous" of them to get back to $4-$5 a dozen.

I eat three eggs every morning in one form or another, so almost two dozen a week. I love eggs, but if they continue to cost about $8.00 a dozen locally, I might have to cut back. On principle, if for no other reason.

It's crazy how different prices on gas are in any region you travel...

Near me $3.35 a gallon, Quakertown $3.19 in Sellersville $3.15, Pottstown $3.29...

Many moons ago I could count on at least $ 0.20 cheaper gas in Carlisle versus the Lehigh Valley and maybe 10+ years ago that price difference vanished for good...

Which was about the same time the new Sheetz & Rutter's opened on the Harrisburg Pike and a few years after a $ 0.10 a gallon price difference between grades disappeared.

I think I smell a rat... 🐭

Last spring I purchased 8 young chickens. Built a pen, they put out at least 6 eggs per day. That's way more than the two of us can eat. Share the surplus throughout the neighborhood. Free of course!

I told my wife we may have to get a few birds. How long did it take to start producing.did you get them from a farm or action?

 

[joebamboo]

Purchased them from a local farm supply store. I think they started producing about a month after we got them. Not sure how old they were then, but they were small. Tractor Supply usually sells them in the spring. The ones we got are called Red Linked. They are people friendly. we even allow them to "free range" during the summer!
