I think that I spend a lot on food. I like Hannafords in Meredith. I go down to TJ Maxx by taking Rte 3 and love that store. Like Walmart for many things. Do some local shopping when I am in need or if I see something I want. Since I am price conscious, I do tend to try to get a reasonable price. Do not like to overpay for something that is a lot cheaper at another store. Give the difference to charity. I have found a couple of nice gifts in that Meredith store but forget the name. It is near Heaths in Center Harbor. Remember when there was a Heaths in Meredith? I miss the Star Market still as I guess driving in and out was a bit easier.

I do eat at local restaurants. Just which ones are my favorites at any given time seems to vary from year to year. I agree with some others that I wish some were open later. I had a guest who followed me up to the cottage and nothing was open but the one Italian place that has loud band music. The food was OK. Think I spend a lot on cars but keep them forever. Please be careful where you get repairs though. Going to the lake tomorrow and hoping for some nice outings and weather that will be inducive to being able to be outside as well as inside. I love the lake and all of the areas around it.

Usually I buy my gas at the place near to Hannaford's where they have lottery and bananas. Oh and sometimes I find gifts for both myself and others at Lavender Blue.
Once we have ice-out my money will go for boat gas. I will be taking my Sea Doo all over L. Winnipesaukee. When I am riding in the glorious sun I will try to forget how much the gas is costing me.
