An interesting exercise we might also consider doing this for are things such as gasoline, diesel fuel, one dozen eggs, a loaf of bread, one gallon of milk, etc.

This thread is a TRIP! I could not imagine living in such cramped quarters that one could not swing a cat, and pay that much per month! Unbelievable.

We have 1300' on our main floor, the upstairs is being finished (add 1300' more) and the basement is 2/3. I'll admit our hardwood floors need a little maintenance, and the 6 lots take a while to mow, but we manage. The two garden plots and fruit trees are nice shade for our 9 "hole" golf course around the house (one green, 9 tee positions, plastic balls only, no foul language allowed). The detached garage is handy also. It also doesn't hurt that the neighbors are conservatives. It's 15 minutes to the city and that's driving the speed limit.

Oh, we paid $37K and our taxes are $60/mo including taxes on our vehicles.

AS far as the other stuff:
eggs $.38/dz
gas 1.48
diesel fuel I don't know
100LL avgas $2.30
bread varies wildly $.33- >$2.50
milk $1.78
