I didn’t know we were so close to each other, I’m in Fairfield. We are getting hammered with gas prices, good thing my cars are paid off, I’m not spending $30,000 on a new car just to save $200 a month.
I'm in New Milford. Grew up in Brewster so I am very familiar with Danbury, Brookfield, Ridgefield, Bethel etc.
New Milford was a great town when I was a kid. My grandmother lived in Bridgewater and New Milford was the local shopping center before all the chains came in. One interesting story is that twice in the last 40 years New Milford has had all the shopkeepers print up local scrip when the national economy went to hell. They called it New Milford Money and you could buy it at 87 cents on the New Milford Dollar. The scrip was only good at stores in New Milford proper but *everybody* except the Post Office both sold it and accepted it in trade. The idea was to keep residents dollars in town when the economy was dying all around the country. They printed for the first time during the '90 recession and the second time in 2007 when everything started going to hell. The idea worked well enough that nobody went under either time.
Small world, I have good friends that live in those areas. In particular Brookfield, Ridgefield and New Milford.
$402.9 by me now. I never understood the .9 thing. Who gets the .9? It's not a government tax, right? I admit I'm clueless on it, but I'm thinking it's like when you buy something for $9.99. Tell me it's $10 goddamn bucks and cut the shit.
Let's face it, it's $403, motherfukker! Yep, $402.9. I wonder what gas prices are in NJ on 17 right now because whenever we would go to Jets games we would always gas up on the way home because it was much cheaper than NY. I'm in OC, NY btw. To be clear I always buy 87, always have, always will.
My local Cumberland Farms is always more expensive than everyone else and right now they're $409.9. So in other words $410.
9/10 of a cent. Pence. Whatever. Is this medieval England, lol. It often says .9 nine on the sign. New rap song in the making.
This is the truth. Russia is the scapegoat to inflation and rising prices. Prices have been rising for the past two years, long before Russia-Ukraine. War is good for the US government because it gives them an excuse for the problem they created.
LOL.... I'd like to know where gas only went up 11% the past month... I got some empty cans in the garage I can fill The timing of that tweet is even better with todays move in regards to oil reserves
Gas was above $3.60 before the war started around me. Its currently at $4.06. Regardless most of this inflation is because of the US government. Russia is a patsy.
