Curious: Cost of Living where you are (grocery/gas)

[grogs]

Bread here is ~ $2.25

Milk is ~ $4, though I buy the organic stuff that lasts for 6-8 weeks and it's closer to $7.

Gas is around $1.65 right now.

Our bus system costs $1.50 per ride, but they've got special programs that let anyone over 65 ride free, and everyone can ride free on days with poor air quality.

Taxi would completely depend on where you're going. I think it's a $5 minimum, but my city is very spread out so you could probably rack up a $30-40 fare pretty easily.

bread: $1.99- $3.28 per loaf. Recently switched to the $1.99/loaf whole grain, no high-fructose corn syrup brand. The $3 was going up and up...
gas: $1.94/gal last time I looked.
milk: kemps select $1.89/ half gallon (for DH)
soy milk: about $3/half gallon (for me)

Milk: $4.25
Whole Wheat Bread: $3

Eggs: $2-2.50
TP: $8 for 6 Double Rolls (I use premium TP)

Gas: $1.899 this morning
MARTA (Bus/Train): $3.50 one way but it doesn't go many places so most people drive.
Taxi: ??? I don't use them!
