Alas, even the "town" I make the arduous monthly journey to is still rural enough that folks there have no interest in paying me for something they can find elsewhere at a cheaper rate. Cost does not equal quality in their eyes.
I have a duck egg going into lockdown tomorrow. I can feel the grey hairs encroaching ever-further across my head as I speak.
Forgo the trading post and go to the big city? You'd have to start going for volume, which turns into work.
I live in the San Francisco Bay Area. This is one of the most expensive places to live in the country. I am also the only person in the north bay area who seems to have quail. People could get them cheaper, but they'd have to drive 2+ hours to get them. Not worth the gas. Gas prices are also higher here than just about anywhere else (it was up to about $4.50/gallon before the shutdown. It's down to a little over $3/gallon now, I think.)
Either rich or very, very frugal.California...
Everyone is rich there.
Here the low octane stuff was $1.76 a gallon last week. I filled up a week before and even then the high octane stuff my truck requires was $2.30 a gallon.
diesel hasn’t changed much like gas has and DH screwed up and used my $1 off points for the S-10 which we filled for 1.27/gallon....put the high octane in son’s camaro today for 2.07/gal with 30 cent discount.....I haven’t driven my car during this whole thing because my middle son parks behind it in the driveway and i don’t feel like playing musical cars.....
