We go to Winco to buy our milk--last time we bought it, it was $1.99. Gas seems to be holding fairly steady here--regular is about $2.69/gallon but when we shop at Fred Meyer, we can get at least 3 cents off each gallon, and sometimes, even 10 cents off a gallon. My husband and I are very budget-minded, and watch every cent.
I don't know about the natural gas bills though. We had a new high-efficiency gas furnace put in, for which we got a $900 rebate from our utility company, and will get a $1500 energy tax credit on our Federal income taxes--but one of the best things is that our gas/electric bill for last month was only $150--last year it was over $400! Granted, the average daily temperature was much higher this year, but...what a nice surprise to see that low of a bill!
