Default Re: Do you still shop around, given the high gas prices?

We only have SuperWalmart and 2 big grocery stores here. I usually buy the bulk of my groceries at SuperWalmart as the prices are the cheapest except for meat. I can't afford their meat at all! All 3 are within a mile of each other as are all of our gas stations except for the one near my home which is usually the cheapest priced and the last to raise their price. Going into the next largest city is definitely out of the question now even though they do have Costco and Sams and other discount stores that we don't have here. By the time we pay for gas and buy food for one meal (can't resist Arby's) we wouldn't save anything.
