So I have been living in SoCal for almost 6 months now. It's beautiful and I really love it here. The only thing I can't stand is how expensive everything is! Wtf is up with that!?

You're paying for the weather and the occasional earthquake.

It's going to be in the mid 70s today, and tomorrow, go get some riding in before the rain comes back Friday.

Other than that, you're paying for the 330 out of 365 days a year when the weather is good.

I've lived here all my life, so I really can't complain about the cost of things since I really don't know any better, but I have learned that farmers markets are generally cheaper then big market stores. That's a good way to cut food costs right there, and the food is generally better, more organic.

LOL? Just ride in the rain! Took what might be my last ride of the season tonight. I'd kill for some mid 70 degree rain to ride in through the winter months.

cali rain is different. it doesnt rain much here. when it does, the roads get really slick. they're just not set up for it. THE DRIVERS HERE CANT DRIVE AT ALL! add rain, and it's a recipe for disaster.

Just have to be careful with money...don't buy from 7/11. Go Costco. Shop online and avoid Cali sales tax like near 10%. conserve & recycle. Establish good habits. Don't smoke...it's one good lunch a pack. Don't dine out too often. Now & age...the economy is ****....everyone must change habits to save a buck.

Plus when it rains here, it smells terrible.
Other then a few minor problems(finding a good job) its been a great 6 months! My wife is in the navy, so she's being my sugar mamma for a little....until I graduate college and get my new career going!

What are some good markets to hit? We shop at albertsons a lot.
