Cost of living

Well, now that I have been in Idaho Falls for a few days I can see that it is going to be a much cheaper place to live than Susanville. Of course I noticed that when I was here in December too but now I live here and it's even more evident. The price of gas was $1.67 today I saw as I was driving down 17th st. It was $2.23 or thereabouts when I left Screwsanville. Just about everything is cheaper here. The one thing that might be considered more is that the food is taxed unlike in California. The sales tax rate is only 6% here which is cheaper than California but if you consider the tax on food, it's almost a wash. At any rate, this town has 2 super Walmarts, at least one Winco, a Home Depot and a Lowes. All of those were lacking in Susanville. What we don't have is a Costco, but there is a Sam's Club. I guess I'll either have to get a membership there or Karen might be able to add me to hers. Sam's doesn't seem to have the variety that Costco does but when you walk through the door, it looks just like a Costco.

So my conversion to an Idaho resident is continuing, I still need to get to the DMV and get my license and registration changed over to Idaho and I should be able to do that before the end of the week. One thing for sure, I won't be posting any more pictures from the Bizz Johnson trail here.
