Save on Gas - Plan Your Errands Carefully!

Now that gas is nearly $4.00 for regular - it is time to be smart about your car trips. I have been carefully planning every place I go in my car. Before you leave your home, you need to think about what you need and where you need to go to get it.

First, write out a list of what you need to purchase. Second, think about the closest shopping center you can go to that will have every thing you need. Strip malls usually have a wide selection of retail stores to shop at. Identify strip malls that have a grocery store, hardware, clothing, discounts, etc. Start shopping at locations where you need to make only one stop to get all that you need.

Shop at your nearest mall. Everyone may have a favorite mall but that mall may be further away than the closest. Figure out how you can get what you need from one location or two nearby areas. To further save on gas, order what you need online.

During the Christmas holiday season I ordered an MP3 player from www.walmart.com.I ordered one week before Christmas day - it was 6:45pm on a Tuesday. Initially, Walmart was promising shipment by December 24. To my surprise I received my package 24 hours later! Walmart has great delivery!
