Today: gas $2.959, doesel $3.699 at the same station.

Of course, the diesel getting 25-100% better mileage easily cancels out the price difference.

The last time I checked the diesel option on new trucks was around $8,000. You could buy alot of gas for $8,000.

Update...

Sure stick deodorant has dropped to $1.99, while it is still $2.49 for Ban roll-on. I sold all my extra Ban roll-on a while ago and put the money towards Sure. I can't see why anyone would keep using the roll-on.

I stayed with the roll on as it goes a lot further on an ounce and easyly cancells the price difference between the two. Actually, money wise I'm WAY ahead and I don't understand why everyone dosen't do what I do. Go figure.

FreshAir,

You are ignoring the fact I made a profit on the sale and came out ahead. Plus, more people can use the stick, so I actually save money per swipe.

More updates to follow....

Bluenote, no need for updates unless, and I say emphatically, "unless" you can back up those, Ha! Ha! Profits with FACTS. I don't need FACTS because I know what I'm talking about and you can take that to the bank. Better yet, put your aleged profits in a coffee can and bury it in your back yard if you still have one. It will be safer there.

FreshAir,

I considered putting my profits in the coffee can, but it was really hot here the past couple of weeks and I had to invest it in more stick deodorant. Fortunately, I'm now set to weather the storm. Oh and by the way, my backyard needs mowing, are you busy tomorrow?

Stay tuned for the latest pricing updates...

The last time I checked, I didn't buy my truck new.

Mayonnaise as low as $1.49 today. I know some prefer Miracle Whip, but why spend all that extra money up front to get something you like better and does a better job for you?
