I think Americans pay ridiculous amounts for food, formula etc. Not junk food, I think yours are quite a bit cheaper than ours.

VAT is included with what we buy so we don't have to add on anymore at the till, that would drive me mad!

ETA where I live petrol is £1.41 per litre (some places are a bit cheaper). That's $2.21 I think. 1 gallon is about 4 litres for us. Petrol is extortionate so glad I don't drive!
