15 * 4 * $1 = $60/extra per month
It's only $60 more bucks a month. So food and everything else goes up, add an additional $60 - $100. So maybe you're paying $160 more per month than last year.

Must be nice to have an extra $60-160 a month to throw into gas and groceries. Most people don't have that kind of wiggle room in their budget. Just last month we spent an extra $100 on gas. We drive minimally but because we live on an island we have to travel to get anywhere. That $100 has to come from somewhere and unfortunately there aren't usually budget categories that have an extra $100 in them.
