A Fiscal Conservative Valentine’s Day
February 14, 2008
Ok, I don’t really know what this says about me that I’m posting tonight on Valentine’s Day about “cheap gas” but I had to share this with the community.
If you need gas, stroll on over to the Kroger’s on St. Andrews and Lake Murray Boulevard (a gallon is under $2.70 with your Kroger card!)
Karen and I were coming back from taking Sarah to cheerleading…oh, this was after a “romantic dinner” sitting in the Sonic Drive Thru with all the kids, when I realized we needed gas in her car (99 Ford Expedition over 150,000 miles).
We pulled in the new Kroger Gas Station and filled up with 22 gallons at $2.659 a gallon!
Stations in the same area ranged from $2.83 all the way up to $2.90! That means the $5 I saved tonight can go towards the $39.99 roses (from BiLo) that I bought for Karen, Sarah, and Emma today.
Am I cheap or what? Or another question…..how does my wife put up with me?

Got something to say?
I’m sure the money that you saved will be spent on your wife!
Yes, you are cheap. I’m not worthy!
Again, your district is so fortunate to have someone who cares about them as you do!
Good work!
Another hopeless romantic….for Marty and I, it was “Arby’s” and “soccer practice” — and instead of Roses, it was candy and card from the Drug Store in between errands; thankfully, love endures all things…including a 99 Honda with 130,000 miles that smells like a high school locker room. Call me squeaky.
[…] You’ve heard me talk of my affinity for my car (and how tight I am with money). […]
[…] I kid you not! Crazy, huh? Or am I just that cheap ? […]
