..fuel, eggs, milk and bread in your city now?

Aussie dollars, today fuel near me is $175.9 per litre, free range eggs $6.95 per dozen, milk $4.95 for 2 litres, and bread, $2.95 for the loaf I usually get.

I put gas in the car the other day at a rate of 3.69 USD per gallon. The bread I like is 3.99 a loaf. I couldn't tell you how much eggs and milk cost to save my life.

Fuel $4.19 per gallon, down 15% from its peak, but still more than double early last year. We almost hit $5 but not quite, except for some greedy stations that don't care about their reputation because they rely on highway traffic.

Eggs $3.99-$4.49 per dozen, more than double what it was.

Milk $4.49 per gallon, up about 40%.

Bread I pay in the $2.50-$4 range still. Not sure there's been much change. I usually try to find something on sale if there's something I like, and there is always some brand on sale. Milk never goes on sale. There are often egg sales, though a lot of times it's the more expensive kind.

Gas is down to $3.65 here.
Eggs, milk, & bread are all ridiculously cheap at Aldi & usually have longer expiration dates too.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

1. We could live without bread. The Sandwich is a luxury and invention. Go on the Mediterranean diet. AKA Fish and Veggies

2. Eggs are eggs. Right now buying organic eggs and the price of regular grade A egg is around the same price. So why not just produce
Organic eggs all together? I will be honest I buy egg-whites for food and only time I use an egg is for my face in the morning. All we really need is the egg-white the insides are just fats.

3. Milk we could do without. The only real milk we should be consuming is our mothers breast-milk. So buying breast-milk from reputable sources or looking for breasts to drink from is still a valuable commodity. Beyond that you could get your calcium sources elsewhere. Walnut Milk, Peanut Milk, Soy Milk, Again Milk from cows can only absorb the calcium.

4. About gas.

A. You have these people who have vehicles that runs on vegetable oil. Usually any cooking oil, and a system where people could literally fuel up at any participating restaurant. I am not kidding you. The Disel engine was made to run on vegetable oil.

B. The inventor of the water car never went to college and made a simple system where Water was separated ( via electrical current ) and when burnt would go back to being water. You could urinate, or even use sea water for that matter. He was assassinated back via the oil crisis.

C. E-bikes. Just use an E-bike and shop sparingly. A little at a time. Only use a car if you need it for something big. I am not kidding you. E-Bikes are amazing. #@$@#$ it. Or just use a bike.

D. E-cars like the Hybrid Priest III. ( now V ??? ) is amazing. You have little to no gas smell and the air conditioner is god-smack. Busses run on Electric in slow-motion areas nowadays.

E. You can convert you vehicle to an E-car. Literally tear out the internal engine and replace those parts.
