Here cigs per pack are around $5
Bread is $1.25 to $3.00
Gas is $1.75 per gallon (almost 4 liters) without discount card, $1.55 with.

Buy canned tobacco and roll your own. Then it is about 10.00 per carton (200 cigarettes.)

This is what kills me about being up here.

The fact that the Ass, er, Mass legislature insists on targeting booze and tobacco for taxing en masse. Now they want to add 27 cents per gallon tax to gasoline? You can bet if that goes through I won't be voting for any of the politicos in office now!

*/end political rant in wrong area*

They're bucking our "sin" taxes up too, Bro.

Just hasn't gone into effect yet.

I wonder if it has more to do with importing and covering that cost?
