The stated question was "Where do you spend the most money?" Some took that to be gas, food, housing, education etc etc etc. Then I believe one can add at what places you get gas, food, housing, education etc.

Love the lake and all that it offers. Still it costs a ton to live here. Taxes are high as is heat etc etc. There are so many costs just to have grass cut and snow plowed and roofs shoveled and houses painted. I buy plants etc etc. Food and gas are huge expenses as are many other areas.

I love Walgreens in Tilton. For one thing it is a national chain so if one goes to another state, they have a Walgreens near to you. You can still get your prescription filled. It may be of interest also that I have actually gone into a local pharmacy at night when I was the only one in the store and was told I would have to wait an hour as they had to fill prescriptions for others who had called earlier. No one came in to the pharmacy for the next hour. Not one person, and yet putting twenty pills into a bottle could not be done. I finally went to the counter and stood there just glaring at one of three people there. She went and said something to one of the ( I think two) pharmacists. I was sick and needed this prescription. It has never crossed my mind to fill a prescription there again.

+1 There is a place in Kennebunk that did the exact same thing to me. I have insurance through work and discoverd I could get it via mail for major savings (around 40%) versus the walk-in pharmacy.

Not to derail this thread, but I've wondered if these chain pharmacies tell people that hoping they'll shop, make some impulse buys - spend more money - while they're waiting...

There was a great little pharmacy in Laconia by LRGH - Flowers Pharmacy. You could get a few over the counter drug items there, some durable medical equipment items, maybe a candy bar or soda, but they could fill a script in about 10 minutes or less, there. Loved that little place - but they've closed.

Well watching the news today it seems that gasoline will be my highest spending section. They were interviewing floor traders on Wall Street today and they said it is a forgone conclusion that we will be at $5.00 per gallon this Summer.
Hmmm, less traffic in Meredith?

The whole fuel supply/demand relationships are hosed when it comes to oil.

Sustained $5/gallon gas will bring the US economy to its knees again. The bigger question is who the oil cartels are aligned with now.

Lakesrider · 02-22-2011, 06:01 PM

I highly doubt we will see $5.00 gas this year. It proved out last time that we simply won't support it. When we started to conserve, or for some, just couldn't afford it, the prices dropped. I think they would dip into the reserves as well.
I think it funny though that one of our biggest oil suppliers is a Country that we can't stand, same goes with Citgo. Time we start drilling more of our own oil and depend less on Oil from the Middle East, and Africa. Still think we should get free oil from Iraq....like forever.

We certainly paid for it in more ways than one.

SAMIAM · 02-23-2011, 09:34 AM

Don't mean to get political here, but we better start drilling for our own oil......we have plenty and the middle east is getting crazier and crazier.

Down at the Dollar Menu at Meredith McDonalds: on McDouble cheeseburgers and fries and water gets the most of my spendable cash. Sure hope those Concord Republicans come through with lowering the meals tax from 9% back down to its' pre-Democratic 8%. A little tax relief would definitely be appreciated and make me reconsider my political affiliation with the Democrats. 8% ....way-to-go!

Arteries will kill you if you eat too much fat!!! Try Yogurt and fruit and oatmeal, chicken, fish and the colored foods like sweet potatos and blueberries and spinach or broccoli etc etc.

I think I am gonna just leave my wallett at Lowes, they seem to get all of my money anyway!

For instance, the trucking industry delivers most of what us consumers need on a day to and every day basis. Just imagine what it would be like to go to the store and find all of the shelves empty! A short list, No Food, No Meds at your local friendly pharmacy, and the list goes on and on.
Here's some reading material that covers some of what the trucking industry has been dealing with for a Long time now.

#2. And what about the airline industry??... Some might be able to afford to fly an M & M or two to a friend, lets say out in California, but for most of the rest of us, we'd have to walk. No Food, No Water and we all know that that journey ain't go'in happen either!

We have to all Unite, get involved and try to keep a train wreck from happening!!!!
