???????????????????????????

Just a little commentary on the usual overreaction behavior by folks in my area if they hear the word "snow" in the forecast.

Impressive sales of milk, bread and toilet paper are routine.........as if they will never see a grocery store again in their life time or consider just walking to the store.

Saw this on Sunday. when i got to the local Giant they were emptied of goods and full of people. All i wanted was butter to make some cookies. Same thing at Walmart. Had me scratching my head wtf. Sure enough on the 10:00 news lady says " ice storm" well it's 36% and raining. No ice here.

I heard on the News ( ), several days ago, that there is a shortage of butter, extant presently, or expected, in the USA as well as in Europe, of which France appears to have taken particular note.

Does anybody ever actually go into a store for the expressed purpose of getting one particular item, and emerge later with only that item in-hand? I doubt it. Even "just for" beer.

Make your own...... Seriously, have not seen any evidence to that effect.

Rarely, if ever, also rarely on purpose - if I'm going to the store, there's a list involved and 2-3 more stops along the way like the PO, bank, library, HD, etc.......

Me, too. I like a sojourn out of the house to be maxi-fruitful.

We all know that I am the odd man and I am on this also {too}.
I go to the store to get one item and get one item.
My wife will go with a list of four things and bring home forty from
that store and more from other stops that were never mentioned.

Last time gas closed on $4 per gallon, I mapped out all my errands to optimize distance and time. I've not relaxed from that practice.

I would begin to take exception and consider the cost of fill-ups once $5 per gal were to be reached. I remember, a few years back, when it came close to that around here, and felt $100+ to fill-er-up would be a serious constriction on my wanderlust needs. Below that, I just charge it on a card and pay the bill monthly. In fact, I don't even know what the cost is per gal of ExxonMobil, around here, at present. I'll take note tomorrow when I fill up the Ml to take it properly to the dealership when they call that the next one is ready.

My grandmother would send grandpa to the store for one item, sometimes more than once a day.

Murph,

I have the Exxon at Alps Rd and French Hill Rd. We have the pumps set to $2.76 for regular and $3.26 for premium.
