Now $3.93 a gallon here in Pleasant Grove Utah. My fuel expenses were about $30 a month last year. This year they are about $80 a month.

Grocery cost are the real zinger. Nearly double if I kept my shopping the same. However, with changes in the way I shop for food my grocery costs are only about 25% more. Still thats an increase of about $80 a month.

Im thinking about dropping the cell phone, which is about $50 a month. Also, I sold some possessions and will be dropping the rental of my garage which will save another $60 a month. So, after that is done, I will be net-net from last year.
