Saving on Gas!  Gas Prices on Steroids!  Change your Thinking!

Hello, Hello,  To my wonderful readers who visit my site! I appreciate you!

This article will highlight the high gas prices we all are experiencing on a daily basis and changing sometime twice a day!  We are truly in an unsettling situation of the unknown as far as our economy and other factors of occurring events.

So much is happening. My website lately has been mainly about the unprovoked War in Ukraine (I’m praying for those people) and about saving money at the gas pump as well as on other products.

I just was wondering how much money could one save on gas if they adjust a few things in their lives.  Yes, you can save a pretty penny and maybe an ugly one too.

So, this is what I’m thinking to break down what’s already out there. No magic. Just common sense and a task for you to do as well and discover what you can do to help yourself.

About those travel charts, have you figured out how to chart the simple places you go to see if there is a shorter route?   How many miles did you save?  Where is the math to see?

Divide the total number of miles driven by the miles per gallon to get the total gallons used to drive that distance.

Here is a site you will love to use to d

o your calculations! Have fun!  Also, they have many tips on other ways you can save on gas!

When you do a map quest charting, they tell you the miles you are going-no matter where you are going.  However, you still need to need to know how many miles you get per gallon for your specific car. If you know, then all you need to know is how much will a gallon of gas at the pump cost.

You might be surprised how much money you are spending and how much it will cost to go to most places you drive to.

Once you make your plans, see where else in that area you would like to shop. If the places are close, you would do your health well to walk there.  (Don’t forget to take your own bags or cart.)

The most important thing you can do today is to be conscious of everything you do and decide what you don’t need to do.

The other biggest price is food.  How can you cut down on food prices without starving yourself to death?  Believe me, our economic system might get worst so start planning now on how to survive this change to come.

Learn about the substitute for items you can’t afford to purchase.  I always love fresh fruit, but if the juice in containers is on sale, get it. Start looking at the supermarket coupon sections and go online to find out where the best prices are.  There are so many apps to help you with that.  I will list a few as soon as I research them. Some people are experts at it.  Well, it’s time to start again.  Perhaps you can find or make a coupon box at your organization for others to seek. I’ve seen one at a post office before. Now, it’s time to start or search for one again.  Organizing your envelopes with dates and types of products will help you get started.  Make it simple and keep it in the car, along with the storage bags you need now.  Do an exchange with friends for items you might not be able to get. Gift coupons or job promotion gift cards to friends or people who might be struggling now.  18 Best Coupon Apps to Save Money in 2022 (thecouponproject.com)

You can work as a team-your friends and family by texting where you see those lower-priced gas prices.

So, this is my bits and pieces for today. There’s so much to talk about.

As time presents, I will be writing on the current issues of the now.

I look forward to your comments and ideas about how to save money on gas.

The last thought is to use a calendar. We all know that many of us is working around a paycheck.  So, do that. If on Friday you get paid, do as much you can on that day, but do all your research during the week and get everything ready.

And if you save so much money on your gas and product purchases, put your profits in a piggy bank, bank,  or save for an up-and-coming holiday or birthday, buy a stock, or start a Holiday Fund.  This is the time when a family Newsletter could be beneficial in so many ways.  Sharing online is also helpful.  Social media is not to underestimated when reaching out to help others.

Last, but not finished here yet, talk to people, and tell them where they can get lower-priced gas. Believe me, their ears will perk up in seconds!  This happened when I went to the Honda Dealership to get an oil change.  (and l had them on my hit list for what was their special-I didn’t know when I bought my car, it took synthetic oil and it would cost so much more!!)  We’re all in this together! So, save, save, save!

    You might want to stock up on foods you use a lot of and start using less of it. Items like paper towels and toilet paper will surely go up in price, but you can cut from their use by being more conscious of how much you need. Perhaps use cloth hand towels in between. 

     Many people don’t know they can buy your local weekend newspaper at the dollar store as well as bread. For $1.25, that’s not a bad deal. 

     This might be a good time to buy a bicycle. Yes, can you imagine you wake up one day and the price double?  You will be going nowhere, fast! Cliche, but true!  Keep your health in mind when shopping.  Less can be more and a  little of a good product is better for your health; such as vegetables and organically grown products.  

        I buy spring water over purified water, in that purified wanted is treated water over the natural spring water.  Springwater is cheaper in the big gallon jugs than in plastic bottles.  Remember to recycle them as that is one way to cut down your carbon footprint. 

Remember, you can negotiate for lower prices on your home and car insurance as well as other services you need.  When someone else offers you a lower price, that can be the deal changer to help you get a better deal even if you don’t get an offer from another company. Just get on the phone and let your agent you are on a search for a lower price and what can you do to help me.

Also, CASH is KING.!  That can be the best way of saving money, too.  I saved over $3,000 on my house roof by paying in cash or by my certified bank check.

Make sure you get a receipt if you do pay in cash. Even take a picture of it in case the job is not done right.

Share what you know will make the world a happier place. It’s a motto I live by, because sharing is caring!
