so you're paying 33 cents a gallon.
where do you live? Venezuela? I am using my Safeway card to get gas discounts. 10 cents off a gallon per 100 dollars spent up to 30 gallons at a time. Between the house and work, we get 2 cheap tanks a month and that covers my wifes' fuel demands. For a very medium fee, I might explain the use and viture of drip gas..........

I've got a friend who lives up on Crouch Mesa over towards Aztec that does the same thing as you, hillbilly, he was telling me about it a couple weeks ago. That's some pretty durn cheap gas. I used to shop at Safeway a lot when I lived in Arizona. I don't know if it's a different market structure for groceries here or not, but they have two Safeways in the Bullhead City, Ft. Mohave Arizona area, and they were real competitive in their grocery prices. I've found here, though, that for our size family (two adults, five kids) Safeway grocery prices would absolutely eat us alive. I don't know if the difference in cheap gas would make up for paying through the nose for the types of foods we eat. I'm sure for some menus/budgets, Safeway is economical, but for ours, it doesn't seem to be. The best I can get with the gasoline discounts with the 15 cents off at Smith's. Though I do buy gas at Safeway and settle for the 3 cent discount, which usually puts gasoline below a lot of other stations.

Sorry about spilling the beans...er...gas there, Watchdog! For the rest of you, if you soon see an article in the Daily Times about how I committed suicide, let me say for the record right now that I didn't do it!(grin)

It could be 1.00 here & .90 in Albq and people will always complain. The O&G will not last forever but how many towns will become extinct when they are gone? everything down to teachers will not be necessary when the folks have moved away with their children to where they can find jobs, this is inevitable and I dont think all these folks can work at Walmart bc who would be shopping? I for one have taken a que from my grandparents and have learned many trades as I will teach my children to be versatile, but that also means that I will go where the jobs are and when the O&G becomes a dinosaur I will be packed up and gone from Farmington in order to support my family.(Not bc I don't love it here- but out of necessity) Spoken like a true survivor. Your Grand parents were very wise and probably the children or young adults of the Great Depression. We are loosing their generation and their hard knocks lessons. Those who fail to understand history, are doomed to relive it.

Just make sure the company your buy gift cards from is solvent.

I managed the KB Toys in the Animas Valley Mall about 5 years ago...that store, at least, was profitable then, but KB's nationwide chaos was beginning. They built a brand new outlet store in Santa Fe which was KB's "big news" for New Mexico for months. Then it was only open for a a couple months before they closed it up during their first bankruptcy action a few years ago. It's tough for a toy store chain to survive when the toy department at Wal-Mart is larger and stocks more toys...
