Gas and food price hike

How are you all co-oping with recent gas hike? Which also means food prices gone up. Have you limited yourself driving around the town? If i had a car at the moment…i think i won’t be able to afford hiking gas price much. I would totally limit myself driving around unnecessary. But since i don’t have one i am good for now. Btw i live in Toronto and survive by taking bus around the town to save money. I guess when i plan to get married i would have to get one but this seems to be better option for now as i live by myself.

How is your family co-oping with recent gas and food prices hike? Are your families concerned?

**OMG...Gas Prices is going up faster than i'm getting bald. i'm sure people are feeling the pinch NOT only at the gas pump but also at the grocery checkouts since all prices somehow are tied to gas prices. i've noticed at least a 15-20% increase in prices across the board.

since i work and i live with my bro's family, i personally do NOT feel any pinch. alHamdolillah. as far as driving is concerened i can NOT and would NOT curtail it. i would rather, if i had to, cut expenses somewhere else...like clothes, footwear and trips.**

Re: Gas and food price hike

Re: Gas and food price hike

Re: Gas and food price hike

I agree. Other day i was at local no-frills to buy groceries for myself. I tell you, i did feel the pinch. Items which used to cost 2.20 has increased to 3.49 and wo bhi HST oper say. But Alhamdullilah you are lucky khalil.

Re: Gas and food price hike

Well i can get monthly pass without having to worry about insurance and car payments. You walk from bloor to union? wow!!

Re: Gas and food price hike

Well i hope not. I am planning to get married by next year and trying to save up for house and a car. And funny thing is i don't even know who the girl would be..and here i am getting all worried about these expenses.

Aha! You sound very excited for some reason.

Re: Gas and food price hike

Yeah I've limited myself in terms of luxury driving. Sometimes after work I would drive around to relax, thats not happening anymore.

Re: Gas and food price hike

I paid 70 bucks for gas yesterday................and I don't even have that kind of money, but what to do I still have to go to school and all

Re: Gas and food price hike

Mississauga Transit is the devil. Never again.

TTC and GO are much better.

And yes gas prices going up is ridiculous. But don't all desis drive Honda Civics anyways? It should bother us that much :p
