With my hubby and I going to work, and daughter driving 65 miles one way 4 days a week to college and 50 to work 2 days a week, we are spending almost $250 a WEEK in just gas!! No wonder my stash has stopped growing! That's almost $1000 a month just for gasoline!! And now Illinois wants to add a one cent per ounce tax on soda... Yes. 1cent per ounce on pop!!! That was just on the local news today!!
