The "cheap" store near my house is $6.50. The "regular" stores are ~$7.
One of the posters in Chicago told me she's paying $9+/pack. I'll be damned...

A. Sign me up for the care package.
B. It was me who pays ~$9.00/pack

I keep saying, "When they reach $_____ I'll quit." But seriously, if I have to pay $9, I really will.

I paid over $10 for a pack last Friday at the 7-11 by my work. You best believe I'm hoofing it to the Walgreens down the street (probably 3 blocks away) from now on - that was ridiculous.

I used to say that when I lived in Pittsburgh and it was $4.00 a pack. It's still pretty cheap there, about $5.00. I have a friend who does send me care packages from time to time.
I've cut back (from 1/2 pack per day to 1/4) and I'm glad for that but I'm still not ready to quit. Oh well, I guess the City of Chicago, Cook County, and the State of Illinois will continue to get more of my tax dollars. At this point, I figure I've got myself a nice stretch of pavement I paid to resurface on 90/94.

If Nicorette works (by the way, it's about $32 a pack for the patches), it's a higher short term cost but a lower long-term cost (in terms of health and wealth). At least that's their angle.
Also, I tried to post this response last night, but the power was out.
I hate when my boss starts sentences with "Dude" but I think that's mostly because she's trying to look "young" or "hip."
More like "broken hip."
