Five Ways To Save Four Dollars For Gas

It seems like gas prices are going up almost everyday. The vast majority has had to either cut back or cut out some daily activities. Now we have to think of other ways to get things done to save on gas. If its a supply or demand problem, we will never know. At this point it really doesn't matter because for now it is what it is. Maybe these few tips will help you save for a few gallons of that expensive gas.

1) Know the difference between a want and a need!!! A need is something you absolutely can not do with out. Everything else is a want. Be honest with yourself, you know what things can wait!


2) Skip eating out.

Just think, if you eat out once a day and your meal is five bucks that's an easy twenty five dollars a week. and if you are eating out more than that in a day that's maybe almost a half tank of gas a week. The thing is to plan ahead, take left overs for lunch, get up in time to make breakfast, take snacks and all this includes planning dinner as well. Who knows this just might be a healthier alternative for some of us.

3) Clip coupons.

When its time to go grocery shopping, its a good idea to check out the sales papers for coupons and special sales for the items that you will be needing. Don't be afraid to try store brands. Outside of the packaging you may not be able to tell the difference. To save even more money plan your meals for the week, get what you need first and snacks and stuff later.

4) Buy things in larger sizes

Household items that we use the most such as tissue, paper towels, soap, dish detergent, washing powder, etc. The larger the size the cheaper it should be and the less often you have to buy it.
Target has started to sell some household items in bigger quantities. Then there is Sam's and B.J.'s. Remember to compare prices.

5) Find a way (s) to make more money

We should have something we enjoy doing that we can get paid for. Whatever the case may be invest in yourself and don't think you are only worth want your job tells you! Give yourself that pay raise and keep increasing it. Life can easily get in the way of us thinking of ourselves first so we end up thinking less of ourselves and that leads to us thinking we have to settle for what's given. Remember your dreams and goals. Obtain them just a little bit faster by doing what you love and get paid for it!
