We have a small local chain that thankfully usually has good prices on meat. I get can food, cereal, and drinks at Walmart. The only meat I get at Walmart is their steaks. I just bought 5 for $30, that's not bad considering how big they are. Ingles Ribeyes are usually two small ones in a pack for $20.

why would that matter -- isn't Haslam getting re elected ? The clown that runs Illinois has been in office 35 years

Dude, the current govenor of Illinois has only been there since 2015.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Governor_of_Illinois

Numerous previous governors in the past 35 years served or have served jail time, if I'm not mistaken.

Haslam isn't eligible for re-election. The only Democrat that has declared can't win, and the Republicans who have declared are terrifying.

I would love for Madeline Rogero, the current mayor of Knoxville, to run. It seems unlikely, tho.

Do you realize what living in Tennessee is like? We don't have a state income tax, but we have one of the highest sales tax rates in the country. We also just increased the the gas tax.

I don't mind paying taxes, because I enjoy having things like roads, schools, etc. However, that seems to be your major rub with Illinois if I recall correctly.

Before you move, I would take the time to understand what's happening in your own state and the one you want to move to.

LOL Mike Madigan is the power in Illinois - the House Reps do what he tells them to do --- he owns Chicago -- Any Gov elected in Illinois has zero chance with this guy in office --- Taxes are not the sole reason I want to leave - I want warmer weather and to be around people that like everything Vols --- If you know who 95 is on here ask him how bad this state sucks. http://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/usa-illinois-madigan/

I don't deny you that Illinois is one of the most corrupt state in the Union.

It is warmer here. Climate change is a *****. If you want to live in Nashville, move to Davidson County side of Brentwood for Vols fans and affordability. Williamson County Brentwood is much more expensive.

Nashville is also a transplant city, so lots of other fan bases and faux-Vandy fans in the city proper.

I know! I can say no, but I hate to cause they like me, plus I can make some good money working on Saturday. We're probably going to Florida for fall break, so that'll help.

I've thought of getting propane, but man I love charcoal.
