How has the price of gas affected you? Fewer trips to the LHS? More shopping on the web?
Personally, I have done both, and cut back on some railfanning trips.
I try to consolidate needed trips and find that shopping closer to home is often cheaper than going to Walmart for a couple of inexpensive items. I actually bought a bottle of glue with a web order rather than driving 44 miles to the LHS and another 44 miles back home. I did this for the last bottle of glue to browse the LHS and my wife got to visit the Old Time Pottery store.
This time I save about $35.00 in gas, $25.00 at the LHS and about $200 at the Old Time Pottery store. Now, if I can just keep the wife from going out when the next sale paper comes out!
