Marisa's mom - I bought some a couple weeks ago for $0.79 a pound, not on sale.  Things are cheaper here, including gas.  Idaho is like 4th lowest in the nation for gas prices.  $2.69/gal the last time I was in town.

I need to shop in Idaho!!! LOL.

As for gas prices.... I took a walk with DD yesterday and passed by a Shell station that sold Super Unleaded for $3.54. The gas prices here are insane, so I started tracking it last week whenever I walked past there:

04/17/06 Mon $3.08, then it change to $3.15 on the walk back
04/18/06 Tues $3.16
04/19/06 Wed $3.21
04/20/06 Thu $3.26
04/25/06 Tue $3.35
04/26/06 Wed $3.43
04/27/06 Thu $3.43
04/28/06 Fri $3.43
05/01/06 Mon $3.43
05/03/06 Wed $3.54

Holy Hell where do you live Marisa's Mom? Here, in a Seattle suburb, we are paying I guess around $3.25 or so for regular.

San Francisco Bay Area. And I've seen gas for more at some other local gas stations, you know, depending on where they're located. I hope gas prices don't break $4. It doesn't seem too long ago when we were wondering whether gas prices would reach $3.

I guess we can't complain... I think people in Europe pay a whole lot more than us?
