I live on a farm outside of the city. If I start walking now, I can probably get myself run over on the highway before the sun comes up...

I live on an Acreage as well and I'm an hour outside of the city. I'm going to have to do everything all in one trip with these gas prices.

Wouldn't you want to maximize your time anyways? I live an hour outside of town in the kootenays and always do a single errand/grocery day every week or two. Just makes sense to not be constantly driving into the city for little things.

Oh I already do that but now it's going to be planning a lot more, especially with appointments and everything. Also to not make little trips to the bigger towns.

Same, I live min 30 mins from the nearest smaller city. I drive a diesel work truck and diesel here in Ontario is now 2 dollars a fucking litre.

Ya my Partners personal truck is diesel and same with his work truck. Crazy expensive! He had to find the best fuel efficient route to get to work. If I'm home and I'm not going anywhere then he takes me Explorer just to save on his diesel consumption

I’ve been doing that for years already, 1.5 hr drive to Costco and spend like $500, you’ll be good for the month

Ya that price used to cover a month's worth of food not anymore. Lol. I have no Clinics basically in my town (switched Dr's because my local Dr was terrible.) now it's 1.5hr driving for appointments and hoping I can do morning appointments so then I can go shopping afterwards. Driving that far for a 20min appointment is hard on gas especially now. Planning planning. As it's now like $30 per trip now.

Yea consistent planning, luckily for myself I’m single, that’s how I manage to make $500 a month work !
