Perspective

I just saw gas prices for 4.12 a gallon! Holy smokes. That's a lot. Until you think of the following:

Clorox Regular Bleach
$1.99 for 60 oz = $2.12 a gallon

Nalley's Chili with Beans
$28.68 for 12 15 oz cans = $9.56 a gallon (Just for the record, this is a total rip off. Nalley's chili is 78 cents a can at Winco. That's only 3.12 a gallon. Much more affordable.)

Bath and Body Works Japanese Cherry Blossom Anti-bacterial soap
$4.50 for 8 oz = $36 a gallon

Cover Girl Lash Exact Mascara in Black
$7.49 for .13 oz = $3687.38 a gallon

Who else is glad their car doesn't run on mascara?

HA! That was awesome. Thanks for helping me see things in a different light. Maybe we should be saying, "Gas is ONLY $4.19 a gallon!" Way to look on the positive side Reba.
