FUEL PRICES

WANT TO STALL THE ECONOMY=FASTEST WAY IS TO RAISE FUEL COSTS ESPECIALLY IN A LOW WAGE STATE LIKE MAINE!
HOW MANY HAVE CUT THE EXTRAS LIKE EATING OUT,GETTING A COFFEE AN DONUT ON THE WAY TO WORK?
HOW ABOUT TAKING THE FAMILY OUT TO EAT OR THE MOVIES? YOU BET WE ALL ARE CUTTING BACK AND IT EFFECTS BUSINESS!

1. put pressure on the oil companies

the best way to put pressure on the oil maggots is to let other businesses do it!
you can force this by simply cutting your living expenses by $5 dollars a member of your family per week!
for instance I love celery in most of our meals! celery is now $2.99 a bunch ;up a $1 because of fuel costs-we eliminated that this past week!their is only two in my family now so I needed another $7-we ate at applebees this week and got the 2-for $20 and had ice water with our meal! my bill with tip was $26-it usually is $35-$40! as I paid I informed the manager when gas was $2.00 a gallon I WOULD RESUME HAVING DESSERT!
So you see it is easy and it's only Wednesday.pay day is friday so I should be able to save at least another $10.
My pick up has not been started for 8 days!that is probably another $40 -$50 in savings!
I turned my thermostat down to 68 during the day and 65 at nite! another savings of $10
thats all you have to do folks and prices will plummet!

2. another savings
today I had to make a personal business trip to bridgton-things took a little longer than expected so on the way back I stopped in mechanic falls for a lunch. I have stopped in this
restaurant occasionally for breakfast.(KAY'S)
Well they had one of my favorites on special "fried scallop dinner" with their own slaw !!
I had one of the best fried scallop dinners in a long time with a pepsi and the bill came to $8.99 . their were 8-10 scallops,ample fries and the slaw was A1! The scallops were in a batter and cooked to perfection!
the price was at least $5 less than I usually pay! the point is I had a good meal,and saved money!
you betcha I will go back! and you betcha i'll praise a fellow MAINER'S business that gives a fair price service!
