Our propane was up .20/gallon over last year. About 12%. Electric co-op gave us a tiny discount of about $1.50 for staying under their cut-off of 660 kWh for usage. County board looked at rising valuations and lowered the mil rate. Saved us $67 & change on the property taxes. And we qualified for the state rebate (Homestead) on those property taxes, as well (about 1/3). Stores are stocked. Prices aren’t _that_ bad, considering the situation. Maybe 25% up on the totals from before the supply chain disruptions and price didn’t effect the choices of the eventual purchases.
