Rising cost of getting by

We have always made it through.... never really ahd to worry too much about moola... but with gas prices rising ona daily basis adn the gas tank taking more nad moer of our pay check and makingthe cost of everything go up i find myself getting more nad more worried about making ends meet... so this summer i am making an effort to walk more, drive less.. i am gonna spend more time making things from scratch instead of boxed or take out.. although i do cook alot... i use some semi prepared foods.. well they are jstu getting too exspensive..t oday i am making cinnamon rolls cuase i wanted some but i canmake twice as much at half the cost.... that is if i dont kill the yeast... it is a new thing for me... i have never used yeast except to toss in my bread machine... lol...Living in hawaii is a blessing it is the most beautiful place tha ti have seen in the world... and ihave seen a few places...BUT it is VERY VERY exspensive....... adn that concerns me... kids want to go and do things liek water parks and such but with mola tight we have to be very careful.... iwish there was a way to make the oil companies see how mean and greedy they are.. ohhh oil prices are so high... ohhhh wha waa waa.. but we have RECORD profits this month... but we arent gouging prices... ahem any how stepping off my soap box to go check on the dough!
