Many Americans are cutting back on everyday expenses as gas prices soar due to President Donald Trump’s war in Iran, now approaching the 10-week mark. About 44 percent of Americans said they’re driving less due to high gas prices, while 42 percent said they’ve slashed household expenses, according to a Washington Post/ABC News/Ipsos poll. In addition, the poll revealed that 34 percent have altered travel or vacation plans. Americans are changing their behaviors as national average gas prices hit $4.43 per gallon Saturday, according to the AAA motor club. This time last year, the national average was just $3.15 per gallon. Patrick de Haan, a petroleum analyst for GasBuddy, said Saturday’s average price marked a sobering new record. “The national average price of gasoline has never been higher on the second day in May than it is today,” he wrote on X.
Well they almost doubled their prices already since the pandemic
Yeah about a year ago or so it was 3 dollars buy one get one free from the value menu at McDonald’s then they changed it to buy one get one for a dollar the other day I went and they just changed it again to 3 dollars per item.
thats what I mean. I was aweful and went to them far to often but they not only stopped being a trivial cost and well that was that. I never realized how easy it would be for me to stop wasting money on fast food and lottery tickets.
