In Lexington, most gas prices are around $3 a gallon. A price that many customers we spoke to simply shrug at. They say in a world of supply shortages and higher costs, it's just another price to pay to get to where you need to go.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (LEX 18) â Food retailers keep busy during holiday season
Lexington, KY
The holidays are a busy time for bakeries, delis and other food retailers that have to keep up with demands for family dinners. With Christmas approaching, business isn t slowing down.
However, with COVID-19 restrictions impacting parties and other events, how has that affected food shopping?
At Critchfield Meats Family Market in Lexington, workers are keeping holiday dinner table staples, like turkey, pork, and ham, well-stocked.
President Mark Critchfield says after moving into their new, larger location on Southland Drive, holiday sales are up from last year. One specific area that s down though because of the pandemic is hot meal sales for office parties. While large meat sales are also down, they re countered by an increase in sales of smaller sizes.
