More money in the tank means less for the local bar.

Crude oil again touched the $100 per barrel mark today signaling a return to high gas prices. Unfortunately, the more money we have to dump into our fuel tanks, the less money we have for spending at the local bar. With recent smoking bans, the local bar owners are hurting enough already, but with rising tensions in the mid east and summer price hikes just around the corner, the cost of entertainment is definitely heading higher.

A recent trip to a local bar was proof that more people are staying at home, which was immediately evident by the complete lack of bar patrons. It’s clear these local bar owners are hurting.

A mug of stale beer was $3.25 and a nasty burger & fries was $5.75. The two of us had the special and a couple beers which totaled $24.50! A little high for a good case of heartburn. These days frugality is in order, I could buy a case of beer and a couple of sliders for less.

Now I’m not saying you should stop pumping money into your local economy and having an occasional night out, but at the same time don’t let yourself sit at home, alone and bored, build a Home Bar!

Once your home bar is completed, you’ll save loads of money while entertaining your friends in the safety of your own man cave. It’s all the fun without the hassle and half the expense.
