Hey, did you notice how conveniently the gasoline prices lowered, right before the start of the holiday shopping season? A full four cents savings per gallon!
Wonder if that is the oil barons’ benevolent gesture to give the consumer thanks, for yet another record breaking earning year, as well as for the massive tax cuts they enjoy.
You know, that made me quite happy. I didn’t even mind too much that my garden salad was less abundant then usual; it was actually skimpy. Well, restaurants must cut corners I suppose to balance the outrageous cost increase in produce and what not, by product of the former mentioned.
So I must be thankful for that as well.

Less food served + increased walking = Barbie dimensions, (in my fantasy).
Seriously though, doesn’t this smell like price manipulation once again? Dupe the public into incurring serious credit card debt, into thinking that everything is OK?
Yes, four cent savings per gallon of gas. These savings evens out the 1,000% mark-ups, of some of the made in China products. Most of these manufactured by workers in sweat shops paid thirty cents per hour, forced to work 16 hour shifts to keep with production demands.
Think I will weasel out of shopping this holiday with the above sentiment in a holiday card.
