GOP Senate candidate on rising gas prices: ‘Maybe you take one less trip to Starbucks’ - Lemmy.World

A Republican candidate for U.S. Senate in Minnesota suggested that Americans should cut back on daily costs amid the economic strain caused by the U.S. military operation in Iran. Former NFL reporter Michele Tafoya acknowledged how “frustrating” and “hard” rising gas prices are for consumers during a Wednesday radio interview, but she suggested Americans should minimize some of their spending to support Trump’s actions in the Middle East. “I think right now at least just kind of keeping a stiff upper lip. Maybe you take one less trip to Starbucks and so that gas goes a little further,” she told Tennessee’s KWAM radio host Todd Starnes.

I love me some avocado toast, but unfortunately in the Midwest I usually see them for about $2-2.50 ea for a decent sized one. I’ve had a hard time with the ones from Aldi that are cheaper. They tend to be tiny and the window between unripe and rotten seems to overlap.

When them bitches go on sale for $1 ea? I’ll eat it every day for a week lol.
